Traunstein Spring Festival 2026: When Chiemgau Becomes a Festival Family in May

Between the main stage in the wooden fest tent, the rustic Almstadl, and the fairground, the unmistakable festival atmosphere of the Traunstein Spring Festival unfolds. For ten days, tradition meets modern programming: regional bands, brass music, parade tradition, rides, and Bavarian treats – a multi-day experience with a strong sense of community, right in Traunstein.

The Sound of Beer Mugs: Main Stage, Side Stage, and Beer Garden Vibe

The fest tent opens daily at 11 am, the Almstadl at 5 pm – perfect timing for morning beer, afternoon programming, and atmospheric evenings. On the main stage and in side areas, bands, music ensembles, and party acts take turns; the covered beer garden provides open-air acoustics with weather protection. The rides start daily in the early afternoon – ideal for families.

Festival Organization with Heart: Fest Hosts, Brewery, Reservations

With the fest hosts around Rudi Zeif and the Traunstein Brewery Wochinger (2026), the folk festival remains deeply rooted in the beer city. Seating in the fest tent can be organized in advance; tokens, snacks, and roasted chicken are part of the proven visitor flow of the festival organization. The mix of tradition and new impulses shapes the festival character.

Getting There, Parking, Public Transport: Relaxed Access to the Grounds

Easily accessible via the A8 (exit Traunstein/Siegsdorf) and the B306. Designated parking spaces are available on-site, including near the swimming pool; additionally, city transport with RVO lines and demand bus is recommended. On weekends, the night express brings the festival community close to the festival grounds late into the night – safe, practical, and quiet for residents.

Culinary & Tradition: Chiemgau Delicacies, Parade, Cheers

In the wooden fest tent, in the beer garden, and at food stands, regional classics and street food await. The spring festival visibly lives its tradition: from the entry to the symbolic tapping of the keg. Visitor numbers traditionally grow on the first and second weekends – early arrival secures the best spots.

Tickets & Admission

Access to the fest tent and accompanying program is free. Costs are only incurred for reservations, food, drinks, and rides. This keeps the spring festival a low-threshold, family-friendly folk festival experience.
