The Osterwiese is a "public festival" (according to § 60 b of the trade regulations). Therefore, every applicant may in principle take part in the festival. However, the organizer is entitled to exclude individual applicants for objectively justified reasons. This applies in particular if there is not enough space available.

Due to the limited space available, only around a third of the 600 or so applications received each year will be considered for admission. The selection is intended to ensure that the character of the folk festival is preserved and the expectations of the public are met. Furthermore, the quality and variety of the offer should also be guaranteed. To this end, stores of the highest possible quality from the sectors usually represented at folk festivals are selected.
