For the Straubingers' the fith season
1812 the Gäubodenvolksfest was born
From a agricultural fair the fair, which was in the early times also in Passau and Landshut, the Gäubodenvolksfest became a funfair
1925 there where already all things which you need for a funfair beer tents, rides and a big cultural programm
The woulkout was already in this time a lot of fun
The good things at the modern festival: The anticipation and traditions are still here
Garb? Of course, the Straubingers say
The several for me is, how many vistitors come to the yearly walkout this makes me happy every year, because this is one of the first token, that the funfair is starting
This is the big power of this funfair, I would say
11 days pure vitality, in and outside
Sitting in one of the beer tents is also a must like going over the funfairarea
The Gäubodenvolksfest is still a orginal from Straubing and not a mass event.
Tradition buisnesses from Straubing present regional delicacy while in the neighbourhood is the modern kind of fun
The people speak with each other...
Looking around in Straubing, there are also a lot of activities...
The 70 cultural and sporty events alone are also a reason to visit Straubing
