Tradition and Sunday Stroll in the Heart of Garmisch

On November 8, 2026, Garmisch-Partenkirchen connects two traditional events for a special autumn Sunday: the Martinimarkt with a Sunday of open shops and the traditional Leonhardiritt. Visitors can first experience the festive parade and then stroll through the shops in central Garmisch.

Leonhardiritt starting at 1:00 PM

The Leonhardiritt begins at 1:00 PM at the festival grounds near the shooters' house. The traditional event is the highlight of the day and invites participants to experience living traditions in a special atmosphere. Since the Leonhardiritt takes place outdoors, weather-appropriate clothing is recommended. Further details on the exact schedule, the route, or participating groups are not provided in the event information.

Martinimarkt and Sunday of Open Shops

The Martinimarkt takes place in central Garmisch. From 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the shops are open for the Sunday of open shops. This provides the opportunity to leisurely stroll through the town center, shop, and enjoy Sunday in Garmisch after the Leonhardiritt. The combination of market activities, open shops, and traditional parades makes the date a varied experience for locals and guests.
