 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.
