“I went to Springfest last year with Stoke Travel. It was so good, even better than Oktoberfest with less tourists but as many beers.”

★★★★★Good questions
Do I need a festival ticket?
No. The festival grounds and the beer tents are free to walk into. You pay for what you drink, about €14 a stein.
Am I in a tent with strangers?
Only if you want to be. Book with your friends and your tent is just your group. Coming alone, share with one other solo camper (same gender) or get your own tent.
Where is the camp?
Campingplatz Obermenzing, on the edge of Munich, about 20 minutes from the festival. The crew rides in with you.
How do I get to Munich?
Most abroad cities are a short flight or train ride away. Text us where you study and we'll help you plan it.
What do I wear?
A dirndl or lederhosen, like everyone else. Stoke sells them at camp.
Is there another weekend?
Yes, Apr 23 to 25. Same camp, same prices.
Are the dates final?
These are the expected dates. Munich confirms the festival calendar early in 2027.
Who runs it?
Stoke Travel runs the camp, the bookings and the payments, and has for over 15 years. Flextrip is their partner for American students abroad. 18+. More on the About page.
