Free Pentecost Open Air in the courtyard of the Hacklberger Brewery
The Umsonst & Draußen Festival is Passau's free Pentecost open-air event. The venue is the idyllic courtyard of the Hacklberger Brewery at Bräuhausplatz in the Hacklberg district. Passau, the city of three rivers on the border with Austria, is located in the Lower Bavaria administrative region (state of Bavaria). The organizer is the non-profit Zauberberg gGmbH.
Local and national bands and artists perform on a stage of about 60 square meters. Around the stage, seated areas with umbrellas, a beer garden with Hacklberger beer, and cocktails from the Zauberberg bar invite visitors to linger. Local food trucks provide culinary offerings at fair prices.
On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, from 2 PM to 5 PM, there is a colorful children's program with outdoor games, face painting, and a creative workshop. At 2:30 PM, there is a puppet show for children aged three and up.
The festival sees itself as a deliberately low-threshold cultural offering: no advance booking, no reservation, free admission. With this, Zauberberg gGmbH aims to make music and encounters accessible to all population groups – a socio-cultural concern that makes the festival in Passau special.
With its mix of live music, brewery ambiance, and family program, Umsonst & Draußen has established itself as a fixed Pentecost date in Passau's event calendar, bringing together a diverse audience over the long weekend.
The 2026 edition of the Umsonst & Draußen Festival runs over the Pentecost weekend from Friday, May 22, to Monday, May 25, 2026, in the courtyard of the Hacklberger Brewery at Bräuhausplatz in Passau.
