About Huttag Lindenberg

The Lindenberger Huttag is the grand city festival of Lindenberg in the West Allgäu region. Once a year, the city center around the German Hat Museum transforms into a stylish promenade: a large hat market with milliners from Germany and the Netherlands, a fashion show on the town square, live music on several stages, a Sunday shopping event, and – every two years – the election of the German Hat Queen make the day a special experience. Lindenberg thus celebrates its unique tradition as a former center of the German hat industry.

The Hat City Celebrates

For decades, Lindenberg in the Allgäu region was one of the most important centers of the German hat industry. The Lindenberger Huttag commemorates this special history, transforming the city center into a festive hat promenade once a year. The German Hat Museum is the focal point, offering guided tours, hands-on activities, and special exhibitions for this occasion.

Hat Market and Fashion Show

At the large hat market, milliners from all over Germany and the Netherlands present their creations – from elegant hats for special occasions and summer models to traditional accessories. The highlight is the fashion show on the town square, where the latest hat creations are showcased.

Election of the German Hat Queen

Every two years, the German Hat Queen is elected at the Huttag – a special highlight that underscores Lindenberg's role as the Hat City. A jury of prominent figures selects the new representative who will champion the hat-making craft for two years.

Music, Shopping, and Supporting Program

Live music creates a festive atmosphere on several stages – from the town band to funk, soul, and rock'n'roll. On Sunday, shops in Lindenberg open with special offers. A May market, amusement rides, and a children's flea market complete the program.

Lindenberg in the West Allgäu

Lindenberg in the Allgäu is located in the Lindau district of Bavaria, in the hilly West Allgäu region near Lake Constance and the Austrian border. The Huttag combines the city's industrial past with a lively city festival atmosphere, attracting visitors from the entire Lake Constance region.
