Tölzer Rosentage

25 Years of Rosentage in Bad Tölz

The Tölzer Rosentage have been held in the gardens of the former Franziskanerkloster (Franciscan monastery) in Bad Tölz since 2002. The organizer is Tölzer Rosentage GmbH, which conceived the fair as a showcase for garden, living, and lifestyle. The 25th anniversary edition in 2026 underscores the long success of this format, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors from Upper Bavaria, Tyrol, and Salzburg to the Upper Bavarian spa town every Pentecost weekend.

The Monastery Gardens as a Backdrop

The venue comprises three historically connected garden areas: the Rosengarten (Rose Garden), the Franziskanerpark (Franciscan Park), and the Klostergarten (Monastery Garden). These grounds around the former Franciscan monastery in the Gries district are among the most beautiful inner-city gardens in Upper Bavaria. Walls and boxwood hedges divide the garden spaces into intimate sectors, old trees provide shade, and in the midst of the roses' peak bloom, the grounds offer the ideal stage for the fair.

What the Exhibitors Showcase

Around 160 exhibitors populate the gardens:

• Plants – rare roses, perennials, herbs, and summer flowers, primarily from specialized nurseries and garden centers
• Garden Furniture and Accessories – handmade wooden furniture, gazebos, fountains, garden literature
• Arts and Crafts, and Jewelry – ceramics, glass, textile art, goldsmith work
• Fashion and Lifestyle – natural fiber clothing, hats, leather goods
• Organic and Sustainable Products – olive oils, honey, teas, care products from sustainable production

The exhibitors come from Bavaria, all over Germany, and neighboring countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy) – a high curatorial standard ensures quality.

Program Highlights 2026

In addition to the fair itself, the anniversary edition offers an attractive supporting program:

• Opening Evening Thursday with a Baroque love song concert in the Protestant community center, performed by the ensemble cosi facciamo with soprano Stephanie Krug
• Saturday, May 23 — appearance by Bavarian actress Johanna Bittenbinder
• Guided tours with gardeners, readings, live music in the garden areas

Bad Tölz – the Spa Town at the Isar Gate

Bad Tölz, a town in the district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen, is one of Bavaria's most famous spa towns. The historic market street with its painted burgher houses, the Isar river on the outskirts, and its proximity to the Alps make the town a popular travel destination. The Rosentage expand this profile with a major cultural event of supra-regional appeal – they are one of Bavaria's most important Pentecost attractions.
