About Volksfest Schrobenhausen

The Volksfest Schrobenhausen is the grand traditional folk festival of Schrobenhausen, the 'Asparagus Town', in the Upper Bavarian district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen. For five days, the festival grounds on Stiefschen Wiese transform into a lively festival mile with a festival tent, rides, showmen, and culinary specialties. The highlight is the ceremonial crowning of the Schrobenhausen Asparagus Queen in the festival tent – a tribute to the famous cultivation area of Schrobenhausen asparagus. Family afternoon, morning pint, and senior afternoon shape the festival's course; a Ferris wheel and an expanded music program were added to the most recent edition.
