Montfort Festival - Children's and Home Festival Tettnang

Montfort Festival – this means: a long weekend filled with celebration, featuring draft beer, music, a historical parade, and fireworks. On the first weekend of July, Tettnang invites you. The historical children's and local festival delights with a colorful supporting program. Counts are the namesakes. Tettnang is the former residence of Montfort. For over 500 years, the noble family influenced the development of the town. So it is no surprise that the Tettnang Children's and Local Festival bears the name of the counts. Although children's festivals already existed in the 19th century, the actual founding moment dates back to 1956. At that time, the mayor and engaged citizens decided to organize a festival for the children of Tettnang.

Historical Parade
The Montfort castles and palaces, Our Daily Bread, From the World of Children, Tettnang History, and Guilds are the thematic worlds that more than 1,000 children and adults present in a parade with over 100 groups. On Sunday at 11 a.m., cannon shooters will kick off the parade in front of the honor grandstand at Montfort Square. In colorful succession, accompanied by numerous music bands from the region, nobles, craftsmen, harvest helpers, dream figures, citizens, and entrepreneurs will parade through the city center in carriages, on horseback, and on foot.

Opening with Beer Tapping
Where else but in the park of the new castle should the Montfort Festival begin? On Friday evening, the mayor of the city and the chairman of the Montfort Festival Commission will jointly open the festival with the Tettnang hop royalty. The star march of the fanfare bands guides visitors to the stage, where a barrel of beer awaits to be tapped. Cheers!

Activity Area for Children and Youth
In the lower castle park, fun and games are on the agenda. Children and teenagers can be surprised by the free offerings of the Montfort Festival Commission. From ball pits to cornhole to classic horseshoe throwing, there is something for everyone. With the "Fun Makers," every child can create their individual artwork.

Amusement Park
Right next to the festival grounds, the amusement park with rides for young and old makes the eyes of visitors shine.

Catering in the Castle Park
Clubs from Tettnang and the region will treat visitors in the festival meadow. The culinary spectrum ranges from hearty steaks to vegetarian Dinnete, from healthy orange juice to delicious wheat beer. And for dessert, there are sweet treats at extra stands.
