Waldfest Tamm 2026

Morning Pint at the Forest Edge

When May begins, the Waldfest begins for the Tamm Music Association — one of the oldest community festivals in the municipality. On Sunday, May 3, 2026, from 12 p.m., the festival grounds at Rotenackerwald will transform into a festival meadow with a large marquee, catering, and live music. A classic Swabian morning pint (Frühschoppen) with all the trimmings: bratwurst, Maultaschen, beer, wine, and cake in the afternoon.

The Tamm Music Association — Host and Performer

The Tamm Music Association e.V., founded almost 100 years ago, is one of the traditional associations in the municipality. With its large orchestra, youth band, and student training, it shapes Tamm's musical life. The Waldfest at the beginning of May is one of the association's most important sources of income — and at the same time a social highlight for the citizens of Tamm, who have been visiting the festival as a family gathering for decades.

The Rotenackerwald as a Festival Backdrop

The Rotenackerwald is located north of Tamm's town center and is a classic Swabian mixed forest area. Here, oaks, beeches, and larches alternate with meadows and clearings — a landscape that characterizes the region between Ludwigsburg and Tamm. The festival marquee is set up in a clearing that is warmed by the May sun during the day — visitors combine the morning pint with a forest walk.

Tamm — Commuter Town in the Ludwigsburg District

Tamm, with around 13,000 inhabitants, is a municipality in the Ludwigsburg district, about 4 kilometers west of Ludwigsburg city center. Tamm is primarily known for the home stadium of the Police University and for its active community landscape. The Music Association, TSV Tamm, the fire department, and the Catholic parish shape the event calendar — the Waldfest is one of the kick-offs to Tamm's spring tradition.
