More About Munich Springfestival – Frühlingsfest München
A fixture in Munich’s spring calendar, the Munich Springfest – Frühlingsfest München – has been running for over 50 years.
Affectionally known as “Octoberfest’s little sister”, the Springfest starts the festival season for which Munich is famous.
Running just over two weeks, it’s a chance to get out and enjoy all that the wonderful season of spring has to offer.
Fairground rides, live music and the atmospheric beer tents add together to bring you a festive spring event.

In true Bavarian fashion, Munich Springfest kicks off with a spectacular parade, along with “Boellerschuetzen” (shooting into the air with mini hand cannons).
Following the Munich Springfest kicks off in true Bavarian fashion with a spectacular parade where the traditionally-dressed vendors and brewers travel along the streets to the festival venue.
The breweries’ decorated horse-drawn carts are an amazing sight to behold as they move the beer barrels to the festival ground.
Be prepared for the loud sounds of the “Boellerschuetzen” (shooting into the air with mini hand cannons) which accompany the parade.
As they arrive at the beer tents, each beer tent band will perform a concert at the entrance.
Tents
- Festhalle Bavaria – serving Bavarian specialties together with fresh-tapped beer, this tent promises lots of German “Gemuetlichkeit” and great music.
- Hippodrom – a smaller version of the famous Oktoberfest beer tent of the same name, the atmosphere and hospitality are no less than what you’d experience in October.
- Munich Beer Garden – the perfect place to enjoy warm spring days and the longer light in the evenings.
Food and Drink
Munich Springfest has plenty of great food and drink on offer.
Bavaria food is hearty and delicious and you’ll find all your favorites on offer: Bratwurst, knuckle of port, rolled porked roast, plus much more.
Sweet tooths are well catered for with traditional offerings such as gingerbread, roasted almonds, and toffee apples to name just a few.
And then of course there is the beer: Paulaner wheat beer, Augustiner Beer, and Spaten Fruehlingsfest Hell.
Prost!
