About Fischertag
The Fischertag (German pronunciation: [ˈfɪʃɐˌtaːk], lit. 'Fishermen's Day') is a traditional festival of the town of Memmingen, Germany. The town creek is fished out to be drained and cleaned, and at the same time the "Fisherman's king" is determined among almost 1,200 fishermen. Every year 30,000 to 40,000 people come to the festival as participants or spectators.
