Gartenfest Musikverein Worblingen

Tradition since 1908

The Gartenfest Musikverein Worblingen is one of the most traditional club festivals in the western Lake Constance region. The organizer is the Musikverein Worblingen 1908 e.V. – one of the oldest brass music clubs in the district of Konstanz (state of Baden-Württemberg). The venue is the orchard at the Oberwiesen sports facilities in the Worblingen district of the municipality of Rielasingen-Worblingen.

Four Days of Garden Flair

The garden festival spans four days – traditionally from Friday to Monday in early July. The concept is classic:

• Friday evening — Festival opening with keg tapping and concert
• Saturday evening — Main evening with brass orchestras and dance music
• Sunday morning — Frühschoppen with 'Vesper' (snack)
• Sunday afternoon — Children's program and concert by guest orchestras
• Monday evening — Wind-down with club evening

The Setting: Orchard on the Edge of the Hegau

What makes the Worblingen garden festival special is its location in an orchard. Old apple and pear trees form a natural roof over the beer table sets, and the Hegau mountains rise on the horizon – that extinct volcanic region with its characteristic cones (Hohenkrähen, Hohentwiel, Hohenstoffeln) that shapes the landscape between Lake Constance and the Black Forest. A balmy summer evening in the Worblingen orchard is one of the most beautiful Southern German festival experiences.

Rielasingen-Worblingen on Lake Constance

The municipality of Rielasingen-Worblingen (~12,000 inhabitants) is located in the Hegau region near the Swiss border, about 10 kilometers west of Konstanz and north of Singen. The landscape is characterized by scattered orchards, vineyards, and views of the Hegau volcanic cones. Worblingen itself is the northwestern district and is one of the rural-traditional parts of the municipality with active club life. Visitors to the garden festival can combine their stay with a hike up the Hohentwiel (fortress ruins), a visit to Lake Constance, or a trip to Konstanz and the island of Mainau.
