Springfest

Springfest, translated from the German Fruhlingsfest,is often referred to as “little Oktoberfest”. 

It’s take place in spring when the weather is nicer and there are far less tourists, making it a more authentic experience in many respects. But the deal is similar, beer halls, big steins, delicious Bavarian cuisine and crazy Stoke campsite parties. One beer festival a year isn’t enough for the Germans.

Springfest attracts 100s of thousands of beer-loving partiers – most of them from Munich and Germany, meaning that the crowd is more authentic and with less tourists than Oktoberfest. The crowds aren’t quite as big as they are for Oktoberfest, but that doesn’t mean that Springfest is any less fun. This means the waiting time for beers is drastically shorter, plus the locals will be very happy to party with you.

Also, as the party is in Spring we can expect warmer weather, which is why Springfest is more focused on outside, beer-garden style drinking. Sitting in the sun enjoying the world’s best beer with your new German friends? Das ist gut!
