Herrsching celebrates history, brass music, and genuine anniversary spirit

On June 7, 2026, Herrsching on Lake Ammersee will kick off its grand festival season: Kapelle Josef Menzl will open the Herrsching anniversary weeks in the festival tent at the sports field to celebrate its 1250th anniversary. The evening combines traditional brass music with a vibrant festival atmosphere, a sense of community, and the unique feel of a major multi-day experience right by the lake.

Tradition meets festival tent atmosphere
