Weiden's Big Town Festival
The Weiden Bürgerfest is one of the largest and most popular festivals in the northern Oberpfalz. The historic old town around the distinctive Old Town Hall on the Oberer Markt is the venue. For two days, the entire city center becomes a stage – with music, gastronomy, and a convivial atmosphere that defines the special character of a true Bürgerfest.
Six Stages, Many Styles
Musically, the festival is broadly positioned: Around six stages – including on the Oberer Markt, Unterer Markt, at Weiden-am-See-Platz, in Judengasse, and at Schlörplatz – feature performances by about 15 groups. The spectrum ranges from brass bands and youth brass bands to rock, pop, funk, and soul, as well as country, Latin, and Caribbean sounds, and DJ sets. There's a perfect spot for every taste.
Gastronomy and Twin Towns
Around 50 catering businesses and clubs provide food with regional and international specialties, as well as beers from regional breweries. Delegations from Weiden's twin towns are also regularly represented, underscoring the festival's unifying character. The official opening on Sunday by Mayor Benjamin Zeitler marks the festive start.
