Have gingerbread hearts inscribed at the Munich Spring Festival

The Munich Spring Festival, also known as the Little Oktoberfest, is one of Bavaria's most traditional folk festivals. Every year, Theresienwiese in Munich transforms into a large festival ground with rides, beer tents, and typical fairground stalls. In 2026, the Spring Festival will take place for the 60th time, attracting numerous visitors from Munich, Bavaria, and beyond.

We will also be present at the Spring Festival with our stand on the Theresienwiese. Visitors can have a gingerbread heart inscribed with their desired text directly on-site. The popular folk festival hearts are a classic at Bavarian festivals and a special souvenir for friends, family, or partners.

What's special about our stand: The hearts are inscribed directly on-site. It usually takes only about 30 minutes until the individually designed gingerbread heart is ready to be taken away. Many visitors take advantage of this opportunity to create a personal souvenir of the Spring Festival in Munich.

Our heart-painting artistry is already well-known to many folk festival visitors, as the stand is also familiar from the Oktoberfest Schifferl Herzlmalerei. At the Oktoberfest, the large gingerbread hearts with hand-written sugar frosting have been among the most popular gift ideas for many years.

You can also experience this traditional heart-painting artistry live at the Spring Festival. Our heart painters inscribe each gingerbread heart with great experience and care directly at the stand. Whether classic folk festival sayings, personal greetings, or individual texts – each heart becomes a small unique piece.

The Munich Spring Festival 2026 will take place from April 17 to May 10 on the Theresienwiese. If you visit the Little Oktoberfest, feel free to stop by our stand and have an individual gingerbread heart designed.

A hand-inscribed gingerbread heart is not only a traditional folk festival gift, but also a special souvenir of the Munich Spring Festival.
