Traditional summer festival of the Irsingen shooting club on the public holiday of Mariä Himmelfahrt in the market town of Türkheim
The Gartenfest Irsingen is the traditional summer festival of the clubs in Irsingen, a district of the Markt Türkheim (Unterallgäu district, Bavaria). The venue is the courtyard of the Irsingen club house at Dorfstraße 31. It is organized by the Irsingen Shooting Club and the local Irsingen Music Association, who host the festival as a joint club event.
The festival traditionally falls on Mariä Himmelfahrt (August 15th), a public holiday in Bavaria. This makes the Gartenfest perfectly timed: families have the day off, day-trippers from Türkheim and the surrounding area visit, and the village community meets for a festive lunch, coffee, and an afternoon together.
The festival concept follows the classic Swabian-Bavarian Gartenfest model: 11:00 AM festival start, warm meals at midday (roast pork, Schäuferla, sausages, sauerkraut), coffee and homemade cakes in the afternoon, accompanied by brass band music from the music association, and play opportunities for children. The festival concludes in the evening at the club house.
Türkheim is a market town with around 7,500 inhabitants in the Unterallgäu district (Swabia, Bavaria). The municipality is located between Memmingen and Mindelheim and is divided into several districts, including Irsingen. Club life in the districts is rich in tradition – shooting and music clubs shape the village festival culture.
On the Bavarian public holiday Mariä Himmelfahrt 2026 (Saturday, August 15th), the Irsingen shooting club will host its traditional Gartenfest. It starts at 11:00 AM in the courtyard of the club house at Dorfstraße 31. The local Irsingen Music Association will accompany the festival with brass band music throughout the midday hours.
With warm lunch dishes, coffee, and cake in the afternoon, the village community is brought together. For years, the festival has been a central date in Irsingen's summer club calendar and a traditional meeting point for the districts of Türkheim.
