    Come with us, as we show you an alternative to the world famous Oktoberfest. The Weilheimer Volksfest is held in May every year, and boasts the same style beer tents, rides, and games as the famous Munich counterpart. Despite these similarities, the Weilheimer Volksfest remains almost completely local, with a friendlier and calmer atmosphere. Come with us as we show you how to party Oktoberfest style, like a local Bavarian.

    Wow, I never thought that anyone would do a youtube vid about the Volksfest in Weilheim. I used to live in Weilheim for one year. I completely Fell in love with the main square and my partner loves the Kneip-facilities in the Park near the river. But we both thought that the Volksfest is a bit naff. The two langer Volksfests we really like though are the Gäubodenfest (09. - 19. Aug) and the Gillamoos (29.08. - 2.09.). The Gäubodenfest is the Oktoberfest without tourists and a bit more traditional, well worth a visit. Afterwards you can stroll in the old town of Straubing which is more than pleasant. The Gillamoos is in Abensberg, a typical small Bavarian town with a really pretty main square. The brewry is very sprcial. They specialise on Weizen and their dark Weizen is out of this world. Of course you can book brewry-tours. The owner of the brewry is a Fan of the architecture of Hundertwasser and has too much spare change. As everybody needs a hobby, he had himself a Hundertwasser-tower built, which looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland. That's a real great day out and I always take beer-loving relatives to Abensberg, as it's a great laugh.

      We like Weilheim too! We kind of ended up going by chance. Some subscribers invited us, and it happened to be the day we were driving by on our way to Oberammergau with friends. We also found the fest a little small, but we liked it, and really wanted to drive home the fact that these festivals are everywhere. I think a lot of foreigners get very fixated on Oktoberfest when there are actually festivals everywhere all the time!
      We are actually going to Abensberg. lol we have to use our Frühlingsfest vouchers.

    I have found that smaller events like the one here is typically advertised on placards along the roadside on fences, barns and the like. Naturally it includes dates, locations, sometimes hours and is a good way to track down these events while you're in the area. Have attended beer fests, wine fests, regional fire department celebrations and the like using this method. Thanks for the great video!

    How early was the festival when it started? Food and beer looked great. Also nice to hear politicians sound the same in any language. ;)
    Great new dirndl...my wife commented that it actually looks comfortable compared to ones worn by others in the video (and your prior one, which I showed her later).
    As always, guys, thanks for sharing another video of the great lives you have in Germany! All the best and looking forward to the promised journey in the mountains!

    Gaubodenfest in Straubing is worth a visit. It is often described as the 2nd biggest Volksfest in Bavaria, so basically Oktoberfest without tourists. =)

      September is Oktoberfest! Though Rosenheim has their Herbstfest around then too, and of course you’ll also get a lot of the cow parades (Almantrieb) - so I’d recommend checking out our other “Oktoberfest” videos.
