Over 120 Years of Volksfest Tradition in the Passau Region
The Volksfest Aidenbach is one of the most traditional folk festivals in the Passau district, in the state of Bavaria. First held in 1905, it will enter its 121st edition in 2026. The market town of Aidenbach, together with local clubs, is the organizer. The venue is the festival grounds on Haidenburger Straße on the edge of the historic market community, where construction begins as early as July.
Parade and Beer Tapping as the Kick-off
Classically, the folk festival begins on Thursday at 5:30 PM at the market fountain: the festively dressed club members gather, the Aidenbach youth band gives a standing concert in front of the town hall, and at 6:00 PM, the Grand Festival Parade sets off towards the festival tent. There, the mayor taps the first barrel of festival beer from the nearby Aldersbach brewery, officially opening the festival.
Two Tents – Two Atmospheres
The large festival tent is managed by Almrausch Festzelte GmbH and offers traditional brass music, festival evenings, and family entertainment. Right next to it, the Almparty tent of TSV Aidenbach caters to the younger festival crowd with party music until late at night. In between, there are amusement rides, shooting galleries, and food stalls.
Highlight: Vintage Tractor Sunday
Sunday is dedicated to lovers of historic vehicles. The vintage tractor parts market starts at 10:00 AM, and at 2:00 PM, the traditional vintage tractor parade moves through the town. Hundreds of historic tractors, agricultural machines, and crawlers can be admired – a magnet far beyond the region.
Family Program and Seniors
Friday is dedicated to the Seniors' Afternoon, complemented by helicopter rides from the festival grounds. On Saturday afternoon, a children's and family program with a magic clown and Punch and Judy show attracts visitors. Monday concludes as Family Day with reduced ride prices.
