Saint Martin rides through Freising's old town

On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the traditional Freising Martin's Parade invites you to accompany the path of Saint Martin through the historic old town to the Cathedral Hill. The parade is one of the special Martin's events in Freising and combines the communal path through the city with a festive conclusion.

Assembly at Marienplatz

The assembly begins at 5:30 PM at Marienplatz. From there, Saint Martin rides through the Freising old town towards the Cathedral Hill. The festive procession transforms the historic urban area into a backdrop for a traditional evening and offers visitors the opportunity to experience the Martin's events together on-site.

Martin's Play and Martin's Fire at the Cathedral Hill

At the Cathedral Hill, participants can expect a Martin's Play. Following this, a Martin's Fire will take place, marking the conclusion of the Martin's parade. The event is aimed at everyone who wishes to experience the traditional custom in a communal atmosphere. Especially for families and children, the parade offers a vivid access to the Martin's story.

Since the parade takes place outdoors through the old town and ends at the Cathedral Hill, weather-appropriate clothing is recommended. The event begins with the assembly at Marienplatz; further information regarding a separate admission or a fixed end time is not provided in the event information.
