Historical Festivals - The Crown Jewels of Summer
The skyline lights up when Fussen kicks off the festivities at the end of June. But the pièce de résistance might be Kaufbeuren's Tänzelfest, Bavaria's oldest children's festival draped in historical costumes with over 1,600 tiny revelers. On July 26th, Isny's landsknechts of Georg von Frundsberg invade the town, reenacting the peasant war of 1525 with a grand spectacle. And lest we forget, don't miss the theater and camp life in Illerbeuren (27-29 July), offering a riveting glimpse into the past.
Simone Zehnpfennig from Allgaü GmbH shares, "The anniversary year of 1525 makes this summer unforgettable in the Allgaü cities. Many festivals engage with the uprisings of that time. And, of course, the joyous celebration of culture and cuisine isn't neglected."
