Schwenningen and the Schwarzwald-Baar District
Schwenningen, along with Villingen, forms the twin city of Villingen-Schwenningen — with around 90,000 inhabitants, it is the largest city in the Schwarzwald-Baar district. The exhibition grounds are located in the eastern district of Schwenningen and are easily accessible from the A81 motorway. Its central location between the Black Forest, the Swabian Jura, and Lake Constance makes the Volksfest a draw for the entire southwestern German region.
Gebauer-Vogt — The Volksfest Professionals
The organizer is Gebauer-Vogt Veranstaltungen, an established Volksfest company from the region. The company has been organizing Volksfests in southern Germany for decades and ensures professional logistics — from security and the selection of showmen to stage programming in the beer tent.
