Geislingen Children's Festival with Procession — Edition 2025

The 597th edition in 2025 followed the established tradition with great participation from Geislingen's schools and clubs. The festive procession started punctually at 8:40 AM from the historic town center and wound through the inner city with hundreds of participants — school classes from all Geislingen schools in fitting costumes, sports, music, heritage, and carnival clubs, music bands and drum corps, floats, and riders. Thousands of spectators lined the streets, families with their children at the edges. Afterwards, the festival moved to the TVA festival grounds with a Children's Park, game stations by the clubs, carousels, and snack stands. The traditional conclusion was the humorous Stäffelespredigt from the staircase in Swabian dialect — with the usual Swabian punchlines and anecdotes from Geislingen's town and club life. Pure tradition, unbroken since the 15th century.
