Folk traditions
Folk traditions are still very much alive and
celebrated in many areas of the Allgäu. These include:
- "Fasching" or "Fasnet" - a Southern German carnival
celebrated with colorful pageantry in February.
- Local Village Fairs abound in the summer months, including numerous
German Brass Band and Alphorn Festivals.
Performers (and many attendees) come dressed in their traditional
Lederhosen (leather shorts) or Dirndl (long skirts).
These venues are usually held outdoors, with large beer and food tents,
and picnic table-type seating.
- Christmas Markets are also featured in many towns during December.
