Volksfest, River Regen and Regental Expo
The Volksfest Nittenau is one of the pillars of the Upper Palatinate festival calendar. It takes place annually on the Volksfestplatz on the Regen river in the town of Nittenau (Schwandorf district, Bavaria). Located directly on the Regen river, the festival grounds combine a festival tent, beer garden, and a versatile open-air area. The town of Nittenau is the organizer, and the festival hosts are Brauhaus Nittenau and Festküche Haberzeth.
Festival Tent, Beer and Regional Products
The festival tent program offers Bavarian folk festival atmosphere: live music, folk dance, dance evenings with bands like Kasplattnrocker and Woidler Power, plus a children's program and the traditional senior citizens' afternoon with the senior citizens' council. The festive opening on Friday includes a concert, a parade, and the Mayor's beer tapping. The Volksfest is accompanied by the Regental Expo, a regional trade exhibition on Volksfest Sunday in the adjacent Regentalhalle (Jahnweg 20).

The town lies between Regensburg and the Bavarian Forest, with the Regen river as its defining natural landscape. With its Volksfest, Regental Expo, and civic festival, Nittenau is among the most festive small towns in the region; the Volksfest is the traditional summer highlight.
