175 Years of Brass Music in Binswangen
In 2026, the Binswangen Music Association looks back on 175 years of club history, making it one of the oldest music associations in the Dillingen an der Donau district. Founded in 1851, it has been an integral part of village life in Binswangen, a village of around 1,000 inhabitants on the Zusam river in Bavaria, ever since. For its 175th anniversary, the Musikverein Binswangen e.V. invites you to a four-day anniversary festival with a supra-regional program.
Village Square as Festival Arena
The venue is the village square at Hauptstraße 22, in the heart of Binswangen. A large festival tent will be erected here, hosting club bands, top orchestras from southern Germany, and tavern musicians over the four days. The concept of the anniversary deliberately alternates between traditional brass music and crossover formats – on Thursday evening, the folk music fusion band ScheinEilig will be on stage, promising, according to the organizers, “Tradition meets Modernity, Bavaria meets the Balkans, and Dance Music meets Techno”.
Festival Sunday with Parade
The highlight is Festival Sunday on June 7th, 2026, featuring a celebratory service, a joint morning pint, a parade of friendly music associations, and a grand festival concert in the afternoon. Music associations from the entire region between Donau-Ries, Dillingen, Wertingen, and Augsburg are invited to present their traditional costumes and instruments during the parade.
Binswangen and the Zusam Landscape
Binswangen is located in the Zusam valley between the towns of Wertingen and Höchstädt an der Donau, about 30 km northwest of Augsburg. The municipality is known for its historic Jewish synagogue – the smallest preserved rural synagogue in Bavaria – which now serves as a cultural center. A visit to the anniversary festival can be ideally combined with an exploration of Wertingen's old town or a detour to the nearby Donau-Ries region.
