Lower Bavarian Festival Tradition since 1925
The Vilsbiburg Volksfest is one of the most traditional folk festivals in Lower Bavaria. The town of Vilsbiburg in the district of Landshut has been celebrating its Volksfest since the 1920s – a firm meeting point in the social life of the Vilstal valley.
Festival Tent and Host Reisinger
The centerpiece is the large festival tent, catered by the Reisinger family of hosts from Straubing. Here, music bands and party bands ensure a lively atmosphere from lunch service until late in the evening. The Vilsbiburg Music Association traditionally kicks off the festivities in the tent.
Opening at the Town Square
The Volksfest opens with the ceremonial beer tapping by the mayor at the town square, followed by a parade to the festival grounds. Free beer is part of the tradition for the opening.

Amusement Park
On the festival grounds, amusement rides, carousels, and numerous stalls line up, offering entertainment for the whole family. With a new edition every year, the Vilsbiburg Volksfest is an important cultural highlight in the festival calendar of the district of Landshut.
