150 Years of Voluntary Service
The festival 150 Years Fire Brigade Walkertshofen is an outstanding anniversary in the club life of the community of Walkertshofen in the Augsburg district, in the state of Bavaria. The Walkertshofen Volunteer Fire Brigade was founded on May 1, 1876, and has shaped the social life of the town ever since – as helpers in times of need as well as a vital club within the village community.

- Ceremonial act for the 150th anniversary
- Parade with friendly fire brigades and clubs
- Festival church service and flag consecration
