Pentecost in the Ingoldingen Woods
Ingoldingen is a rural municipality in the Biberach district in Upper Swabia, south of Biberach an der Riß. With just under 2,500 inhabitants, it is typically Upper Swabian — rural, tradition-bound, with an active club scene. The local Music Association Ingoldingen has over 100 active members and is one of the largest associations in the municipality. Its forest festival has been the central event highlight of the Pentecost weekend for years.
May 23–25, 2026 — Three Days of Festivities
The 2026 forest festival runs from Saturday, May 23rd, to Pentecost Monday, May 25th. The venue is the traditional festival grounds in the Ingoldingen woods — a mature clearing with a festival tent, stage, catering area, and a large outdoor seating area. The motto for this edition is, as always, "For young and old — come along".
Saturday, May 23 — Opening and Dance Night
The festival evening is classic: opening in the early evening, catering, dance band, dance floor. The Pentecost weekend allows for a long Saturday evening without any issues on Sunday.
Sunday, May 24 — Family Day and Party Night
Sunday starts as a Family Day: early morning drinks from 11:00 AM with brass music from the Music Association, lunch with classic Swabian specialties, afternoon with coffee, cake, and a children's program. In the evening, the party night follows — with its own Waldschippen as a special format: speed dating rounds for singles aged 20+, combined with dancing and the band ANDIXIE. An unusual concept that integrates young adults into the traditional club format.
Pentecost Monday, May 25 — Festival Finale
Pentecost Monday is the festival finale: early morning drinks, lunch, traditional activities — such as log throwing, tug-of-war, sawing, or other Upper Swabian competition formats. Festival ends in the evening.
