Truderinger Festwoche

About Truderinger Festwoche

The Truderinger Festwoche is one of Munich's most traditional district Volksfeste. On the Stadtrat-Helmut-Schmid-Festwiese, the east of the city transforms into a Volksfest cosmos for ten days with a large festival tent, rides, Bavarian customs and traditions, and the Brettl-Spitzen show. In 2026, the organizing Truderinger Buamfestring will also celebrate its 50th club anniversary – with expanded program items, a parade, and fireworks. One of the few Munich festival weeks away from the Wiesn that consistently continues the old "suburban Volksfest" flair.

District Volksfest with Roots in Trudering

Trudering in eastern Munich was once an independent village on the outskirts of the state capital – and has retained its own sense of identity to this day. The Truderinger Festwoche is an expression of this self-understanding: not a small Munich Wiesn, but a classic Volksfest with a festival tent, carousels, and customs and traditions, which the people of Trudering see as "their" festival week.

50 Years of Truderinger Buamfestring (2026)

The organizer since 1974 has been the Truderinger Buamfestring. In 2026, the club will celebrate its 50th anniversary – an occasion that makes the festival week the 53rd edition, in addition to its already rich tradition. The opening parade on the first day of the festival will therefore be particularly special.

What Makes the Truderinger Festwoche Special

The focus is on the large festival tent with daily changing bands and stage programs. Customs and traditions are highly valued: traditional dance groups, Father's Day boxing with TSV 1860 Munich, family days with reduced prices, and senior afternoons. Politicians and clubs host themed evenings.

Rides and Bavarian Gastronomy

Around the tent, carousels, dodgems, swing boats, and high-rise rides provide the Volksfest atmosphere. The Bavarian gastronomy ranges from roast chicken to pretzels, from Wiesn beer to lemonade. A separate beer garden area and Punch and Judy shows for children complete the offering.

Brettl-Spitzen LIVE as Festival Finale

The highlight on the last day of the festival is the BR show "Brettl-Spitzen LIVE": Bavarian folk singers – Couplet-AG, Roland Hefter, Marion Schieder, and others – perform live from the festival tent on BR. A mix of folk music, couplets, jokes, and political cabaret, as has been cultivated by Bavarian Television for years.
