Neuburg Volksfest Opens for 80th Edition With Larger Festzelt

The ten‑day fair starts with a parade and a public beer tapping while organizers say the new Schneider tent expands capacity and keeps key prices unchanged.

Overview

  • The Neuburg Volksfest begins Friday, 24 July, with a stand concert, a parade to Schrannenplatz and deputy mayor Johann Habermeyer performing the official beer tapping at 18:45.
  • Organizers installed a new 30 by 50 meter Festzelt run by Festzelt Schneider that can hold up to 2,600 people after a May decision resolved who would cater this year.
  • The program runs through Sunday, 2 August, and features family and senior days, live bands, traditional events and roughly 30 Schausteller offering classic rides such as Break Dance, Wellenflug and a family roller coaster.
  • A special music‑scored 'Brilliant‑Höhenfeuerwerk' to mark the 80th anniversary is scheduled for Wednesday, 29 July at 22:00 while nearby Hof will present its own Großfeuerwerk on Friday, 31 July.
  • Organizers emphasize visitor experience and cost stability by keeping the Maß beer at €11.90 and half‑chicken at €13.50, and the festival continues a local tradition that traces formal celebrations in Neuburg back to 1801.
