A Market with Character and Regional Depth
The Gaufest is supported by the Heimat- und Volkstrachtenverein D’Oberlandler Bad Aibling in collaboration with the Burschenverein Willing. Both associations shape the event with a clear root in regional customs and a long association history. The costume club reminds that the Oberlandler Gaufest was already celebrated in Bad Aibling in 1951; the 2026 festival connects to this tradition.
