Neustadt's Citizens' Festival 2025 scores with music and culinary delights
The charming town of Neustadt an der Waldnaab is gearing up for a memorable event, the Bürgerfest 2025, taking place on Saturday, July 19, 2025. This festive celebration, set to begin at 3 PM, promises a day filled with live music on two stages, culinary delights, and community activities in the Freyung area.
The programme for the day includes an official opening with a ceremonial beer tapping (Anstich) and a diverse range of musical acts such as the city orchestra, Waldnaabtaler Bauernmusi, POWER Hoch 5, D'übler Boam, and dance performances by the Heimat- und Volkstrachtenverein.
Visitors can look forward to indulging in various culinary delights throughout the day, with options including grilled sausages, steak sandwiches, grilled mackerel, pulled pork burgers, slush ice, and homemade cakes.
As the day progresses, the Freyung will transform into a lively hub of entertainment, offering carousel rides, 3x3 basketball, football darts, soapbox derby races, and a "Chill Corner" organized by the Neustädter Youth Council.
Due to the Bürgerfest, the town centre will be closed from 8 AM on July 19 to 12 PM on July 20. Bus stops in the Freyung and at the town square will be suspended during this time. Parking spaces from Untere Vorstadt to the traffic light at the Hotel Grader will be closed for the festival, but parking spaces at the town square will remain accessible.
For those interested in sports, the first matchday of the Kreisliga 2 in the Hof/Wunsiedel/Tirschenreuth football circle features a neighbourhood clash between TSV Konnersreuth and SV Pechbrunn. Meanwhile, FC Tirschenreuth will face the newcomer TuS Erkersreuth in the Kreisliga 2.
The tent and culture festival in Schwandorf and the firefighter jubilee in Stulln are also taking place around the same time, but the specific schedule for July 20 in Neustadt an der Waldnaab is not yet fully detailed.
The Bürgerfest 2025 is a free event that emphasises music, culture, and local engagement. For a more detailed timetable or programme for the entire festival duration, it is recommended to consult the official Neustadt an der Waldnaab city website or local event pages closer to the date.
In addition to the live music and community activities at the Freyung area during Bürgerfest 2025, visitors can explore other lifestyle options such as home-and-garden exhibits, perhaps showcasing traditional Bavarian architecture or gardening techniques.
