The German word, “Frühlingsfest”, means “spring festival”. An annual family-friendly celebration of the spring season, Frühlingsfest takes place in cities all over Germany, such as München and Stuttgart. With over 1.2 million participants each year, Frühlingsfest makes its name as the largest spring festival in Europe.

🎨 80 exquisite local artists
🍻 Authentic German beverages and cuisine
🎶 Live music all day long including a headlining concert
🚘 New and vintage German cars on display throughout the festival grounds

The Goethe Frühlingsfest is located in the arts district of downtown Avondale Estates, Georgia, where a sparkling art scene is at home, and where three breweries provide some of the finest German-inspired beer this side of the Atlantic.
