Three-day rose and garden festival across Traunstein's Stadtparks with 140 exhibitors, 19–21 June 2026.
Traunstein's Rosentage occupy both Stadtparks for a three-day garden-market atmosphere. The 14th edition in 2026 drew almost 140 exhibitors — an event first held in 2011.
The full story
Traunstein's Rosentage takes over both of the town's Stadtparks for three days each June — a flower, plant, and garden-craft show that in 2026 draws close to 140 exhibitors for its 14th edition, running Friday 19 through Sunday 21 June. It sits deliberately apart from Bavaria's beer-festival calendar: the programme leans on roses, garden decor, and regional food stalls rather than Festzelt culture, framed around a Rose Queen who opens the event each year.
That Rose Queen tradition points to a founding year that, unusually for a small-town festival, is known precisely: a 1st edition in 2011, running annually through a 9th edition in 2019, before the 2020 and 2021 editions were cancelled for the pandemic and the festival resumed as its 10th edition in 2022 — arithmetic that lines up cleanly with 2026's 14th edition. The first-ever Rose Queen, Katharina I., was also crowned in 2011, matching the same starting point.
Admission isn't free: adults pay €9, under-18s enter free, and seniors 65 and over pay a reduced €5 rate on Friday only; visitors who want all three days can buy a €20 multi-day pass. Food and drink at the parks stays secondary to the horticultural focus — expect casual regional stands for grazing between exhibitor rows, with Traunstein's Altstadt restaurants close by for a proper sit-down meal.

History
The Traunsteiner Rosentage held its 1st edition 17–19 June 2011, growing into an annual fixture through a 9th edition in 2019. The 2020 and 2021 editions were cancelled for the COVID-19 pandemic, with the festival explicitly framed as restarting when it resumed as the 10th edition in 2022 — arithmetic that lines up cleanly with 2026's 14th edition (9 editions 2011–2019, plus 5 editions 2022–2026). Independent corroboration comes from the town's own Rosenkönigin (Rose Queen) tradition, which dates the first Rose Queen, Katharina I., to the same 2011 founding year.
