Four Clubs, One Festival Weekend

Siebnach is a district of the municipality of Ettringen in the Unterallgäu district. 2026 is an exceptional year for the small village: four traditional clubs are converging with their club anniversaries. The Siebnach Volunteer Fire Department (150 years), the Siebnach Music Association (65 years), the St. Georg Siebnach Shooting Club (40 years), and the Siebnach Youth Club (25 years) are celebrating together under the motto »Hand in Hand: Siebnach feiert mitanand!«.

What Makes the Festival Special

54th District Music Festival: The festival weekend also serves as the official host of the 54th District Music Festival — the largest musical gathering of the Allgäu brass band scene within a district.
69th District Shooting Competition: In parallel, the St. Georg Shooting Club, together with the Gau Türkheim, is hosting the 69th District Shooting competition — with 619 active marksmen from the entire district and a total of 830 participants in the various competitions.
More than 450 Helpers: Over 450 volunteers from Siebnach and neighboring communities are making the festival operations happen — a scale that is extraordinary for a village with only a few hundred inhabitants.
Vintage Cars and Parade: A classic vintage car exhibition and a grand parade through Siebnach will characterize the weekend.
Bavarian Broadcasting On-Site: BR (Bavarian Broadcasting) will be present as a media partner and will broadcast program segments.

Federal State and Cultural Context

Bavaria, administrative region of Swabia, district of Unterallgäu. The Unterallgäu is one of the regions in Bavaria where village festival culture and brass music are particularly deeply rooted. The combination of fire department, music, and shooting club anniversaries with a district music festival and a district shooting competition is the ultimate southern German variant of a village anniversary — Siebnach is setting a benchmark in the district in 2026.
