The Augsburg Plärrer has a tradition-steeped history with roots stretching back more than a thousand years and nowadays its popularity means it takes place twice a year, once in the Spring and once in the Autumn and for around two weeks each time. On Fridays there are firework displays and to kick start the Autumn Plärrer on the first Saturday a big parade takes place through the city to the festival grounds.
There are currently two large beer festival tents, offering plenty of space to enjoy live music and an array of typical festival food and drink, including Bavarian specialities.
Outside of the fun-filled festival tents there are more attractions, with the latest and naturally long-standing fairground rides, games stalls for the young and old, tasty snacks and of course too much to tempt those with a sweet tooth!
