Overview
- The Frundsbergfest is underway from June 26 to July 5 with a full program of ticketed headline events and free public activities.
- Large staged spectacles have played to packed streets, including choreographed sword duels by Fähnlein Frundsberg and Fähnlein Ems presented as controlled showmanship.
- International and local flag‑throwing groups, notably Sbandieratori Sansepolcro and the Fahnenschwinger of Mindelheim, have performed at Marienplatz and other venues.
- The festival actively invites public participation through open dances, a children’s afternoon and a farmers’ market, and recent photo galleries show thousands of visitors and lively camp scenes.
- Organized by the volunteer Frundsbergfestring, the event rests on deep multigenerational family involvement and months of preparation that sustain Mindelheim’s civic identity and summer tourism.
