Fischertagsvorabend Memmingen

In 2025, the Fischertagsvorabend once again marked the symbolic start of the grand Memmingen festival weekend. The historical groups of the Fischertagsverein staged their performances with unbroken tradition. Drummers and fanfare bands paraded through Memmingen's old town, whose medieval backdrop of city walls, Steuerhaus, and town hall provided the perfect stage for this centuries-old custom.

The following day, around 1,000 Memmingen residents stormed the Stadtbach for the traditional fishing with wooden fork nets — a ritual that keeps the old Imperial City tradition alive and makes Memmingen famous throughout Bavaria.
