Plärrer remains with two beer tents: Why a third is missing!

Plärrer remains with two beer tents: Why a third is missing!

The Plärrer, a popular festival site in Augsburg, remains true to its tradition and will again have two festival tents next season. This decision, taken by the city council in 2020, was not arbitrary but was based on a clear analysis of demand. Previous experience showed that a third tent would not attract enough visitors to justify its existence.

The two tents that are still part of the offer are the Schaller tent and the Binswanger tent. These places stand for conviviality, Bavarian tradition and lots of entertainment. The elimination of the third tent, which was occasionally operated in the past, may seem like a positive measure to Plärrer visitors. In recent years, the city has set new trends to make the festival more attractive without jeopardizing the pillars of the event.

The background to the decision

The decision to stick with the offer of two beer tents is understandable, especially in view of the experience that visitor numbers are usually only in the upper range on the weekends. At other times, crowds are not high enough to justify a third tent. This means that operators can concentrate on the two existing tents to ensure a high level of quality and service.

We remember that the Doppelbock-Alm, which was present on the Plärrer until 2019, was always a highlight. Their exit accelerated the rethinking process in the city council, which ultimately decided to reduce the number of tents to two. This measure turned out to be useful and was consistently well received by visitors.

The fact that the offer is not being expanded also shows that the city administration is responding to the needs of its citizens. Oversupply would not only impact the entire event, but could also cause confusion for guests trying to make a clear choice. Two tents mean clearer structures and a clear offer.

The Plärrer offers a variety of experiences and entertainment options. From a lively atmosphere in the beer tents to various culinary delicacies - there is something for every visitor. This diversity is another cornerstone of the success of the event, which attracts numerous guests year after year.

In summary, it can be said that the decision to reduce the number of marquees to two is a well-thought-out and strategic measure that takes into account the needs of the visitors and at the same time increases the quality of the event. With this decision, the city of Augsburg shows that it cares about its traditions and at the same time is prepared to adapt to the circumstances in order to continue to make the festival successful.
