The start of the Bavarian Volksfest season
The Würzburg Spring Volksfest is considered Bavaria's first major Volksfest of the year. On the Talavera, a traditional festival site in the Lower Franconian city of Würzburg in the administrative district of Lower Franconia, thousands of visitors gather every March to herald the spring.
Festival grounds and rides
Around 50 showmen set up their stalls on the area between the Talaveraschlösschen and the Fraunhofer Institute. In addition to classics like the Ferris wheel and the chain carousel, the high-speed ride "Infinity" provides intense thrills with inversions, great heights, and speeds of up to 120 km/h.
Festival tent and spring festival beer
The large Hahn festival tent offers lively music daily – from party bands and regional brass bands to country and blues. The kitchen focuses on regional ingredients and also offers vegetarian and vegan dishes; a specially brewed spring festival beer is served to accompany the food.
Program for the whole family
- Official opening with beer tapping by the Mayor of Würzburg
- Family days with reduced ride prices
- Low-stimulation afternoon without fog machines, light effects, and loud music
- Brilliant fireworks
