The Geisenbrunner Stopsler invite you to a village fair after a forced break of two years.

There is a lot going on at the weekend.

Geisenbrunn

– For many years it has been a part of summer like strawberries and sunshine: the Geisenbrunn village fair.

After a two-year break due to the pandemic, it can take place again for the first time next weekend.

"The so-called All-World-Kirch Fair has been celebrated in Bavaria since October 1866," says Markus Rippl, secretary of the Geisenbrunn Stopsel Association, who organizes the Kirta together with the fraternity.

"Catholic churches that are dedicated to a saint, however, usually take the memorial day as an opportunity to hold a patron saint's festival." For the residents of Geisenbrunn, too, the patron saint's festival of the picturesque little Geisenbrunn chapel is reason enough to celebrate the church consecration on the Sunday after the memorial day of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary to celebrate.

The Kirta will be opened on Saturday, July 2, at 5 p.m. with an invitation to the seniors from Gilching-Argelsried.

"It's already a living tradition that the older fellow citizens are invited to a meal by the municipality once a year," reports Rippl.

"As in previous years, the Stopsler will take on this social task as part of their village festival this year." The Alling brass band will provide the musical accompaniment.

Later in the evening the band will entertain "Bavaria Sound" and the fraternity will open the bar.

Dorfkirta: market and suckling pig

A service begins on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. in the church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary.

Afterwards, the Unterbrunner brass band will play in the festival hall on the Painhofer family estate.

District farmer Anita Painhofer has organized a Kirta market, the grill masters at the bread stands and at the taps are prepared for the onslaught of many hungry and thirsty guests.

In the afternoon, a suckling pig is served, and there is delicious cake from the Geisenbrunn women with the coffee.

Children can look forward to a throwing booth, a splash wall, pony rides and a bouncy castle.

The organizers point out that it is "only a short hop" on foot from the Geisenbrunn S-Bahn station to the fairground.

Admission is free both days.
