Traditional market festival with brass music on the Iller riverbank
Kellmünz a.d.Iller, a small market town in southern Swabia with just under 1,500 inhabitants, celebrates its Marktfest with Sommermarkt every year on the third weekend in June. The market administration itself is the organizer, with organizational support from the Kellmünz Music Association and other local clubs.
The weekend begins on Saturday with the Marktfest at the village fountain in the market square. Stalls with food and drinks, coffee and cake, and brass music form the convivial center. Sunday features the Sommermarkt: regional traders present household goods, textiles, handicrafts, delicacies, and various other items along the market street.
The musical accompaniment is traditionally provided by the Kellmünz Music Association under the motto "We live brass music". In the morning, the friendly Ritzisried Music Association often plays, and in the evening, the Kellmünz band takes over until the festival ends. The atmosphere is family-friendly, the market character small and manageable — not a large event, but a real village festival.
The market town is located directly on the Iller river, on the border between Bavarian Swabia and Württemberg. Those who stay longer can visit the Roman fort Caelius Mons or explore the Iller Cycle Path. The second major festival of the year is the Kirchweihmarkt (church consecration market) on the third Sunday in October.
The 2026 edition of the Marktfest with Sommermarkt will take place, as is traditional, on the third weekend in June. It opens on Saturday, June 20th at 10:00 AM in the market square; the Sommermarkt follows on Sunday, June 21st.
Applications for a stall at the Sommermarkt had to be submitted to the market administration by April 1st, 2026. Market Master Rainer Kolb is responsible for stall allocation on-site; the market regulations and application form were available for download on kellmuenz.de.
The detailed program overview and the newsletter with the detailed program will be published a few weeks before the festival on the market community's website.
