Can we bring a big bag?

Better not. Security may check bags, and the organizers ask visitors to leave anything bigger than A4 at home. Entry can also be limited when the island fills up.

Where do we park bikes?

Bike parking is on both sides of the Praterwehrbrücke, south and north of the bridge onto the island.

What can kids do besides watch shows?

In 2026 kids could make friendship bracelets, paint crowns, get their faces painted in the afternoons and try rugby drills with TSV 1860 on Friday evening.

Is there a flea market?

In 2026 there was one on Sunday from noon at the Kulturstrand by the Vater-Rhein-Brunnen.

About

Isarinselfest is a citizens' festival on the Praterinsel, the island in the Isar off Lehel, run by a nonprofit set up by AWO and the SPD. Bands, Latin dance stages and talks spread across the courtyard, halls and riverside beach. For families, the draw is the family stage, with puppet theater, clowns and storytelling, plus a play area of giant wooden games. Evenings belong to music and the beer garden.
