Anniversary Festival GMV Concordia & MV Zimmerbach — 125 and 100 Years

Double Anniversary Under One Festival Tent

On the weekend of June 19 to 21, 2026, GMV Concordia Durlangen e.V. (125 years) and Musikverein Zimmerbach e.V. (100 years) will celebrate their joint anniversary festival in the Durlangen town center. Both associations have shaped the cultural life of the Ostalb municipality for over a century — the joint anniversary is the occasion for a three-day festival weekend with a festival tent, concerts, and a parade.

Friendly music associations and choirs from the Ostalbkreis and beyond are on the guest list. The festival catering, food service, and program are entirely organized by the associations themselves — the festival tent will become a communal meeting point for the entire region.
