Festprogramm for Haldenwang

Take a look at D'Wageggler's website -- they have posted the order of the parade (Gau-NA is #11 out of 110 right between Musikkapelle Schrattenbach and the Festwagen of the Schützen Haldenwang) as well as the route that the parade will take.  The parade route is about 1.5 miles long and you'll walk from the tent to the assembly area and then march in the parade back to the tent.  3000 Trachtler will be taking part with numerous bands and Festwagen/"floats."

The dance officers and Pressewart have collaborated on a presentation to help you know what to expect during our upcoming trip to the Bayerischer Löwe and what to wear for each event.  There's also a section on how to line up for the Festzug on Sunday afternoon (we're using the same concept as we used for the 2014 Oktoberfest).  There's a LOT of information in the presentation.  Please share it with everyone who is going.  There's also a one-page summary of times, places, what to wear (page #10) that you might want to print out and take along.  We hope that this will make things easy and cl

Those going to the Bayerischer Löwe/Allgäuer Gaufest are being offered a wonderful opportunity to get to know more Trachtler in the Allgäu, see interesting sights, eat Kässpätzen, hear Alphorns, and visit a Vereinsheim. D’Wageggler’s neighboring Trachtenverein--Koppachtaler Altusried--has a great excursion planned for us on Friday. A bus will leave the Festzelt in Haldenwang at 11 am, taking us to Altusried 20 minutes away. Members of the Verein will take us on a tour of the renowned Freilichtbühne, an open air theater that seats 2500 people.
