Gäubodenfest fair in Straubing

Oompah bands and pop music, costumed processions and a 21st century funfair – Straubing's Gäubodenfest is the region's second-biggest fair after the Munich Oktoberfest. A truly Bavarian blend of past and present, it offers an eye-catching range of attractions. As well as fairground rides and beer tents there are boxing matches, a craft market, the Ostbayernschau trade show and romantic lantern trips on the Danube.
