Traditional Kirchweihmarkt on the third Sunday in October in Kellmünz an der Iller
The Kirchweihmarkt Kellmünz is an integral part of the annual program in the Swabian market town of Kellmünz an der Iller in the Neu-Ulm district. Like many Bavarian Kirchweih markets, it combines the ecclesiastical origin of the Kirchweih (patron saint's day of the local church) with a secular market and folk festival character.
The Kirchweihmarkt traditionally takes place on the third Sunday in October. Market stalls and amusement rides line the town center; traders offer goods of all kinds, complemented by showmen and gastronomic offerings. This makes the market a popular meeting point for the local population and visitors from the surrounding area.
The Kirchweih is one of the oldest and most widespread festival traditions in Bavaria. In Kellmünz, it is kept alive with the autumnal market – embedded in the historic municipality, which looks back on a Roman past (Kastell Caelius Mons).
