Beyond Oktoberfest, Bavaria's festival calendar overflows with celebrations that mark seasons, honor saints, commemorate history, and simply give communities reasons to come together.

We provide dates, logistics, and cultural context that helps you participate authentically—because Bavarian festivals are about community participation, not just observation.
