With music, horse, and coat division through Freising's historic downtown

On November 8, 2026, the traditional St. Martin parade will traverse the historic city center of Freising up to the Domberg. The event combines lived tradition with an impressive route through the historic town and is aimed at all who want to experience Martin's Day in a special atmosphere.

The focus is on the story of Saint Martin. The parade is accompanied by musical groups, giving it a festive, communal character. A special highlight is the mounted St. Martin, who visibly shapes the procession and makes the story of Martin directly experienceable.

Traditional Coat Division

A fixed part of the event is the traditional scene of the coat division. It reminds of the well-known legend in which Martin shared his coat with a freezing person. Thus, not only the shared journey and music are at the center but also the values of sharing and helpfulness.

The route leads from the historic city center to the Domberg, making the parade an outdoor event. Visitors can follow the procession along the route. Since the St. Martin parade passes through public areas, it is advisable to arrive in good time along the way and to pay attention to local conditions.
