As winter fades and Bavaria shakes off the last of its frost, Munich gears up for Frühlingsfest, the city’s beloved spring beer festival. Often overshadowed by its colossal autumn cousin, Oktoberfest, this charming celebration offers a more relaxed—but no less lively—take on Bavarian tradition. Held at the Theresienwiese (the same grounds as Oktoberfest), Frühlingsfest transforms the fairgrounds into a whirl of pastel decorations, carnival rides, and, of course, towering beer tents.
This year, the festival runs from April 20–21, kicking off with the ceremonial barrel tapping by Munich’s mayor—a tradition that draws cheers from locals and tourists alike. Visitors can expect smaller crowds than Oktoberfest, making it ideal for those who prefer a more intimate experience. The festival features four major beer tents, including the popular "Festzelt Tradition", where brass bands play classic folk tunes, and the "Hippodrom", known for its vibrant party atmosphere.
Beyond the beer, Frühlingsfest is a family affair. The Krinoline Carousel and Riesenrad (Ferris Wheel) offer panoramic views of Munich, while vendors serve up Bavarian staples like roast chicken, pretzels, and Obatzda cheese spread. For those looking to embrace local culture, don’t miss the traditional Trachten (lederhosen and dirndl) parades on Sunday afternoon.
For American travelers, Frühlingsfest is the perfect excuse to experience Munich’s legendary hospitality without the Oktoberfest rush.
