@@NearFromHome I've been in and out of Weilheim since 91 and own a shop here. It's good that you made it to the fest here when you did because they just put out that there's no more after this year! No idea why...
Another awesome video from your channel. Love watching these hidden gems you share with us. I'm very impressed with your shooting abilities after a liter of beer!
you and girlfriend might be unheard, but content of vids are best of quality and fun. both of you are my favourite. such a fun, beauty, always in a good mood. bavarian style is your best, mine also welcome to bavaria, i love you. both.
Gaubodenfest in Straubing is worth a visit. It is often described as the 2nd biggest Volksfest in Bavaria, so basically Oktoberfest without tourists. =)
I love your energy, but I don’t know if I’d go that far. We clearly love all the other festivals on this channel, but there will only ever truly be the one Munich Oktoberfest!
I have found that smaller events like the one here is typically advertised on placards along the roadside on fences, barns and the like. Naturally it includes dates, locations, sometimes hours and is a good way to track down these events while you're in the area. Have attended beer fests, wine fests, regional fire department celebrations and the like using this method. Thanks for the great video!
🤣 I love listening to the glowing descriptions of being forced to drive! How early was the festival when it started? Food and beer looked great. Also nice to hear politicians sound the same in any language. ;) Great new dirndl...my wife commented that it actually looks comfortable compared to ones worn by others in the video (and your prior one, which I showed her later). As always, guys, thanks for sharing another video of the great lives you have in Germany! All the best and looking forward to the promised journey in the mountains! Rob
hahah danke. Just tryintgto keep it real lol Yes, it is comfortable! it doesn't need to be taken a little for a perfect fit, but the material it very soft!
Straubing has a Gaubodensvolksvest in May as well. Forgive my haphazard spelling. It is AMAZING! The historical nods to the Roman artifacts within the town are just so cool!
Wow, I never thought that anyone would do a youtube vid about the Volksfest in Weilheim. I used to live in Weilheim for one year. I completely Fell in love with the main square and my partner loves the Kneip-facilities in the Park near the river. But we both thought that the Volksfest is a bit naff. The two langer Volksfests we really like though are the Gäubodenfest (09. - 19. Aug) and the Gillamoos (29.08. - 2.09.). The Gäubodenfest is the Oktoberfest without tourists and a bit more traditional, well worth a visit. Afterwards you can stroll in the old town of Straubing which is more than pleasant. The Gillamoos is in Abensberg, a typical small Bavarian town with a really pretty main square. The brewry is very sprcial. They specialise on Weizen and their dark Weizen is out of this world. Of course you can book brewry-tours. The owner of the brewry is a Fan of the architecture of Hundertwasser and has too much spare change. As everybody needs a hobby, he had himself a Hundertwasser-tower built, which looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland. That's a real great day out and I always take beer-loving relatives to Abensberg, as it's a great laugh.
We like Weilheim too! We kind of ended up going by chance. Some subscribers invited us, and it happened to be the day we were driving by on our way to Oberammergau with friends. We also found the fest a little small, but we liked it, and really wanted to drive home the fact that these festivals are everywhere. I think a lot of foreigners get very fixated on Oktoberfest when there are actually festivals everywhere all the time! We are actually going to Abensberg. lol we have to use our Frühlingsfest vouchers.
Great video! Another great beer festival even though it’s not Bavaria, is the St. Rupert’s festival in Salzburg the last week of September. I discovered it by chance last year while staying there.
September is Oktoberfest! Though Rosenheim has their Herbstfest around then too, and of course you’ll also get a lot of the cow parades (Almantrieb) - so I’d recommend checking out our other “Oktoberfest” videos.
:) No, though it is similar to some of our other “Oktoberfest” videos. We are hoping to make it a bit of a series if people like seeing all of these little festivals.
Funny, I live in Weilheim!
Kinda jealous. It's a cute town!

We have had like 100 videos worth of practice haha.
Reminds me of the "Oide Wiesn" at Munich's Oktoberfest celebration. (Small entrance fee - was 2€ a few years ago). I think youll like it.
Yeah I tried to go, but it was too busy. Next year! :D
@@NearFromHome 😊
What a cool experience!!
Thanks! It really was!
bro is living the dream

Ahhh you are the second person to recommend this. We will have to go!
You have to no doubt! 7 tents and no tourists except you 😜 come visit us. Greetings from Straubing. Gäubodenvolksfest starts August 11th

Never ever would I visit the Munich Oktoberfest. Those small Wine and Beer Fest all across Germany are much better and you find them all summer.

It was great! You can usually find something like this in Bavaria April-September!

Looks great without the mob scene of Octoberfest, keep these little known locations coming.The dirndl looked great as well;)
Thank you so much! 🥰
Will do!
Excellent video 🎥 I've never been to Germany it planning to. Any advice on which Volks Fest I can visit in September? Danke

@@NearFromHome cheers 🍺
Had a chat yesterday with Lauren In Germany complaining she didn't make you get up north yet......
We do have beer fests up here.
Lol she's great.
We will make it there eventually!
I prefer wine festivals - the mood vibe is different. Greetings from the north, Peter!
Is this a repost or am I really getting old?
:) No, though it is similar to some of our other “Oktoberfest” videos. We are hoping to make it a bit of a series if people like seeing all of these little festivals.
@@NearFromHome For sure we like the small festivals. I don't see myself taking my 5/yo to Oktoberfest but the small ones seem chill.
@@cocobunitacobuni8738 Yeah the smaller ones are a bit more family friendly!
Ein prosit Ein prosit love this sobg 😂
