Gaufest 2026 in Nußdorf am Inn: Ten days full of tradition, music and lived festival culture
When Nußdorf am Inn transforms into a large festival area in July 2026, the entire community will be under the sign of tradition, community and Bavarian joie de vivre. The 106th Gaufest of the Bavarian Inngau Trachten Association brings a multifaceted multi-day experience to the festival meadow from 09.07.2026 to 19.07.2026: with beer tapping, Gau Heimat Evening, pork knuckle meal, children's program, brass music evening, beer and wine festival as well as the Gaudirndl spinning with a traditional costume and crafts market. The festival week is organized by the GTEV Alpenrose Nußdorf e.V., which is also celebrating its 130th anniversary.

A festival that grows from the heart of the village
The Gaufest is much more than a program point on the calendar. It is a lived piece of regional identity, supported by volunteers, traditional costume culture and a strong sense of community. The organizing traditional costume association describes the festival week itself as an invitation under the motto 'With Friends Together,' and this very thought shapes the atmosphere: erected tents, blue-white decorations, attentive helpers and a festival site that is open to traditional costumers as well as curious visitors from the region. The preparations have also been evaluated by the responsible parties on site as very suitable organizationally and spatially.

What will be particularly atmospheric on this Saturday evening
On 18.07.2026, the program features Nußdorf plays on with beer and wine, an evening that musically and socially bundles the entire festival week. Local music groups, festival tent atmosphere and the sound of brass music create that mix of tranquility, festive cheer and down-to-earth sociability that characterizes a traditional costume festival. Anyone who wants to not only see traditional costume culture but feel it experiences here an evening that directly brings together tradition and festival joy.

Tradition that remains alive on stage and in the tent
The supporting program showcases the full range of a true traditional costume festival: from the festive Heimat Evening to the pork knuckle meal to meetings for seniors and children. Particularly strong is the connection of music, generational change and club work, as children's and youth groups, musicians and active traditional costumers jointly carry the festival. This is exactly where the strength of this Gaufest lies: it is a multi-day experience that cannot be reduced to individual highlights, but gains its effect from the interplay of festival organization, tradition and regional connectedness.
