For centuries now, Ulmet has been celebrating the "Gallusfest" from Tuesday to Thursday after Saint Gall’s Day (16 October), one of the Palatinate’s oldest folk festivals. Formerly, all the villages that belonged to the greater parish of Ulmet celebrated this festival, but these other centres have, since splitting away from Ulmet, paid tribute to modern times, and they hold their kermises (church consecration festivals, locally known as the "Kerwe") on summertime weekends. Only Ulmet has kept the old tradition of the "Gallusfest". Even Billigheim, which once held its "Purzelmarkt", which was just as old, on the same days as Ulmet’s "Gallusfest", has moved its festival to a weekend in the warmer months. Even if “Saint Gall’s Market” no longer holds the same meaning for the country folk that it once did, still a few thousand visitors come to the old Glan village to celebrate with friends, acquaintances and kin.
