A large music festival with many participants - from neighboring towns as well as from South Tyrol - will take place in Obersöchering from Friday, August 19th to Sunday, August 21st.
There are over 20 groups at the parade.
Obersöchering
– A major event is coming up in Obersöchering in the next few days: a music festival will be celebrated there from August 19th to 21st, with which the 152-year-old of the music band and the 57-year-old of the drummers from the village will be celebrated.
Actually, the 150-year-old and the 55-year-old should have been celebrated in 2020, but this was not possible due to the corona.
Now there is, among other things, a meeting of young musicians and a pageant.
The major event is held under the motto “Musician Friendships”.
The festival kicks off on
Friday, August 19th
at 7 p.m. in the “Heißhansl-Halle”, the festival hall, on Alpenstrasse in Obersöchering.
The brass band "Pro Mill" from Bad Feilnbach and - from 10 p.m. - the "Jochberg Musikanten" will play.
The celebrations will continue with a “Youth Day” on
Saturday, August 20th
.
From 11 a.m. to around 5 p.m. the youth bands of Söchering, Peißenberg-Forst, Ammertal and Riegsee-Staffelsee meet in the “Heißhansl-Halle”.
The "extensive supporting program" that the band announces on its website www.mk-soechering also includes a beer tray and a bouncy castle.
The commemoration of the dead at the war memorial (from 7 p.m.) is followed by a procession to the festival hall.
From 8 p.m. there will be a "friendship evening" with the "Bürgerkapelle Obermais" from Meran and the "Musikverein Lenzfried" from Kempten.
The band from South Tyrol turned 50 two years ago, the one from Kempten 25 years old.
