How do I access the properties of a many-to-many “through” table from a django template?

The easiest way is just to pass the band to the template. Templates are capable of navigating the relationships between models and there is both members and membership_set queryset managers on Group. So here is how I would do it:

view:

def group_details(request, group_id):
    group = get_object_or_404(Group, pk=group_id)
    return render_to_response('group_details.html',
                              {'group': group})

template:

<h2>{{ group.name }}</h2>
{% for membership in group.membership_set.all %}
    <h3>{{ membership.person }}</h3>
    {{ membership.date_joined }}
{% endfor %}
