Welden in the Augsburg District
Welden is a market town in the Augsburg district, picturesquely situated in the Stauden region. The Marktfest is a traditional village festival, organized by the Heimatverein Welden e.V. in close cooperation with the Musikvereinigung Welden.
Procession and Market Band
The festival day begins with a procession from the church to the market meeting point. Afterwards, the youth and market band of the Musikvereinigung Welden provides entertainment music until about 2:00 PM – a classic 'Frühschoppen' (morning pint/gathering) in the village.
The Marktfestolympiade
A special highlight is the Marktfestolympiade at 3:30 PM: a fun and skillful competition where teams from the village compete against each other – a crowd-puller of the festival for years.
Sociability and Good Food
The Markt-Treff – the old fire station next to the town hall – is the center of the festival. Drinks and traditional specialties such as Musikerbraten, steaks and sausages from the grill are available at moderate prices. The Marktfest is a cozy festival with a family atmosphere, supported by the community.
