Overview
- Peißenberg reported about 220 horses and more than 50 carriages, rerouted the procession to a service in St. Johann due to a soaked festival meadow, and drew roughly 5,000 to 6,000 visitors instead of the usual 10,000.
- In Fürstenfeldbruck, 32 participating groups processed after the Votive Mass was moved into St. Leonhard, and Pfarrer Otto Gäng blessed riders and animals using a Leonhard relic as organizers noted fewer spectators.
- Warngau tallied nearly 50 wagons and 66 individual riders, completed the shortened loop twice, shifted the Mass into the church for safety, and welcomed dignitaries including Ilse Aigner.
- Grafing moved its service and opening concert indoors because of rain, saw a smaller crowd than in prior years, and heard State Minister Ulrike Scharf praise the ride as a strong expression of local identity.
- Elsewhere, Unterammergau shortened its route and held the blessing in the village due to heavy rain, while Unterliezheim counted around 120 riders and 20 wagons under sun with Auxiliary Bishop Florian Wörner leading the rites.
