🌷 About the Festival

Raise your steins and celebrate the season of renewal at Frühlingsfest, Germany's beloved spring festival!

Often called "Oktoberfest's little sister," this vibrant celebration brings all the Bavarian charm-hearty food, great beer, and joyful music-of the famous autumn festival, but with a fresh springtime twist.

Whether you arrive dressed in lederhosen or a dirndl, or simply come to soak up the atmosphere, Spring Fest is your chance to experience the very best of Bavaria under the spring sunshine 🌷
