If you do not feel up to the crowds of the Munich Oktoberfest, you could consider another festival just across the border in neighbouring Austria. The 42nd St Johann Dumpling Festival (Knoedelfest) will take place in the Austrian Tyrol from 20 to 22 September, 2024.

One of the most popular of the festivals in Austria, the Knoedelfest features 26,000 dumpling served on a 595-metre table on the Speckbacherstraße – unsurprisingly the longest dumpling table in the world. There are 26 different recipes from 21 local restaurants, so hopefully you will find something to your taste.

What to Expect?

Apart from a plethora of dumplings to consume there will be plenty of Alpine walking, starting with a hike to Angerer Alpine Pasture Hut on the morning of the 20 September, as well as a series of concerts.

St. Johann’s main square will see a concert by the St. Johann Brass Band later on that evening.

Saturday will see a marching brass band proceed through the streets of the Alpine town. While on the Sunday Marc Pircher will perform on the main square from 11am.

There might even be the odd pint or two quaffed as well.
