Summer festival of the Dorfmusikanten at Festhalle Möst/Salger in the Allgäu village of Oberkammlach
The Dorffest of the Oberkammlacher Dorfmusikanten in the Swabian municipality of Kammlach is one of the many traditional club festivals that shape the summer in Unterallgäu. The organizer is the local music club Oberkammlacher Dorfmusikanten e.V., which has been cultivating the tradition of brass music in the village for decades — with an active band, the youth band AUFTAKT!, and a support association that promotes young talent.
The festival takes place around the Festhalle Möst/Salger in the Oberkammlach district. The hall offers shelter in case of rain and, in summer, the classic tent-hall ensemble where Bavarian club festivals feel most at home. The acoustics of the hall are tuned for brass music, making the concerts of guest bands particularly effective.
Kammlach, with its districts Oberkammlach and Unterkammlach, is located in the south of the Unterallgäu district, between Mindelheim and Bad Wörishofen. The landscape is typically Allgäu: hilly, characterized by meadows and farms, with views of the Allgäu foothills of the Alps. Club festivals like the Dorffest are the most important social meeting points of the summer here — generations meet, guest bands from neighboring villages are invited, and youth groups dance.
A classic village festival of this size follows a well-rehearsed choreography: a festive evening on Saturday with the club's own band or a guest brass orchestra, a festive church service on Sunday, a parade, a morning pint with another brass band, and a festive closing on Sunday evening. In addition, there's a play area for children, a tombola, and a festival tavern with Allgäu cuisine — Kässpatzen, Schäuferla, Bratwurst, and cakes from the club's bakeries.
The festival follows the well-established structure of a Bavarian club summer festival:
A regular program highlight is the performance of the youth band AUFTAKT!, where the Oberkammlacher Dorfmusikanten train their young musicians. They perform during the Sunday program.
