Bayrischzell is celebrating again in 2027: from 22 July to 1 August there are eleven days of festivities, with the tapping of the first barrel, the Gau homeland day, a country festival, the Goaßmaß festival, a classic car meet and the fire brigade festival. The individual events are run by the local clubs, and all the festivities are planned together by a working group from the village called "Bayrischzell brennt", which published the dates in mid-October 2026.
I have put them together for you here so you can save the dates. As soon as times, venue and the detailed programme are fixed, I will add them.

The Dates
The opening of the festival.
The evening of the regional costume association, with a remembrance of the departed.
The Schuhplattler groups of the costume association compete for prizes.

The Goaßmaß festival was also part of the 2026 celebrations for the 950th anniversary, back then for the tenth time.

Gau Homeland Day
Thousands in traditional costume
The Gau homeland day is the big festival of the regional costume association, and in 2027 Bayrischzell is the host. Around 5,000 people in traditional costume are expected. My tip if you want to stay overnight: book a room early, the valley will be full that weekend.
Looking Back
What it looked like in 2026
You saw how Bayrischzell celebrates at the 950th anniversary in July 2026. My photos of the procession back then give you a taste.
