Four Days of Local Festival with Completely Free Entry
The Volks- und Heimatfest Muggensturm is one of those folk festivals that shows what local pride means in southern Baden: clubs organize, the municipality provides the framework, and all visitors get in for free. From Friday, July 10th to Monday, July 13th, 2026, thousands will flock to the Muggensturm festival grounds, a village in the Rastatt district between Karlsruhe and Baden-Baden. The 74th edition builds on a tradition dating back to the early 1950s.
Mobile Bar "Alte Kelter" — The New Highlight for 2026
For the 2026 festival year, the grounds are expanded with a modern component: The mobile bar with cocktails opens for the first time in the historic "Alte Kelter" — a meeting point for a younger audience who appreciate beer but also want an Aperol Spritz in between. Franz brewery from Rastatt, as every year, supplies the festival beer; the Monday brunch with ox-mouth salad is a must for the older members of the community.
Live Music on All Stages
The musical program spans all generations: brass music from music clubs, an afternoon for seniors with Heidi & Rudi, concerts by the 12er Chor, local cover band 2 Cool, and Schlager icon Dieter Jürgens (Festival der Liebe). Monday evening belongs to SONRISE and the band "Music Men"; in between, DJ Nik-O and DJ Eric will spin records in the Alte Kelter. A mix that appeals equally to families, youth, and older generations.
Community Festival with Ecumenical Depth
On Sunday at 9 a.m., the ecumenical service takes place on the festival grounds — organized by the Protestant Trinity Parish of Bietigheim-Muggensturm-Ötigheim and the Catholic parish. This is followed by a brunch with the Muggensturm Music Club and club performances in the afternoon. Family Day on Monday offers reduced prices on carousels and rides from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. — a gesture to the families who have supported the festival for generations.
