Fest Sunday in Bergen: Fire Brigade Tradition, Sense of Community, and Brass Music Power

On Sunday, May 17, 2026, the Voluntary Fire Brigade Erlstätt will participate in the Fest Sunday of the Bergen Festival Days – the grand highlight of the double jubilee 155 years of Voluntary Fire Brigade Bergen and 150 years of the Music Band Bergen. The meeting point for the Erlstätt comrades is at 08:00 at the Erlstätt fire station. The multi-day experience in Bergen combines vibrant fire brigade tradition, club spirit, and real festival atmosphere.

History Meets Festival Character

The Bergen Festival Days (May 13–17, 2026) celebrate a double jubilee: The fire brigade Bergen celebrates its 155th founding festival, while the Music Band Bergen celebrates its 150th anniversary. A lively hub of parade, festive mass, and social gathering emerges in the festival tent on Weißachener Straße – a stage for camaraderie, voluntary work, and regional music culture.

Sensory Impressions: From the Wake-Up Call to the Parade

When the brass players commence the morning pint, open-air acoustics hover over the valley. The tent area wafts with the aroma of Bavarian delicacies as the parade passes by cheering crowds with flag contingents. The main stage in the festival tent delivers brass music and festive speeches, while side stages spontaneously emerge along beer table rows – an authentic community feeling that radiates far beyond the place.

Organization & Process: Clearly Structured, Camaraderie Practiced

The festival organization in Bergen ensures orderly processes: festival tent logistics, parade setup, parking spaces in the vicinity, and public transport connections from Chiemgau. For participating fire brigades, there is a joint march followed by festive mass and celebration. Erlstätt travels in a group and coordinates participation centrally through the fire station.
