Fun at the Gäuboden Fair
The Gäuboden fair in Straubing, which was first celebrated in 1812, is Bavaria’s second largest fair, the largest still being the Oktoberfest in Munich. 1.4 million visitors come every year to soak up Bavarian “Gemütlichkeit” in the large tents.
Things get lively in the beer tents: Beer is flowing, the brass band is playing traditional Bavarian music and waitresses in stylish “Dirndl” dresses are serving classics such as roasted chicken, pretzels, “Obatzda” (a hearty cream cheese) or fish on sticks. And of course, the liquid gold: Bavarian beer.
