First held in 1981, Fruehlingsfest was born from Immanuel’s strong German heritage — and it’s only gotten bigger, better and bolder since then. Today, it’s the Sunshine Coast’s largest German-inspired festival, open to the whole community and packed with fun for all ages.
It’s run by our legendary Parents & Friends team, powered by volunteers, and fuelled by a community that shows up, gets involved, and makes things happen.
Whether you’re a local, a visitor, or a first-timer, Fruehlingsfest is your ticket to a huge day out — with plenty of heart.
