Events and activities around the Salzkammergut

Experience what lasts – celebrations, culture & living traditions

Between the lake and the Salzburg mountains lies a place that doesn’t need to be loud to leave an impression. Vogl’s Nest is both a retreat and a starting point – perfect for experiencing events that touch the heart, all year round. From the quiet Advent market by the water, to living traditions in the village, to cultural festivals in Salzburg: this is where memories are made. Quietly. Warmly. And with real substance.

Music & tradition by the lake

Whether it’s a morning pint with the traditional brass band, atmospheric summer concerts, or evening performances by local wind ensembles – Fuschl sounds like home. And when Dirndl and Lederhose are brought out on holidays, it’s clear: traditions here are not just displayed, but truly lived.

Maypole raising in Fuschl

When winter bids farewell and spring is in full bloom, 1 May in Fuschl becomes especially festive: at the maypole raising on the church square, the whole village gathers together. A decorated tree, accompanied by music, regional delicacies, and a true sense of community – that is Fuschl at its most authentic. For many visitors, the maypole festival in Fuschl is a real insider’s tip: small, heartfelt, traditional – and yet a great piece of living culture in the Salzkammergut.

Krampus run in the surrounding area

When bells rattle, torches blaze, and dark figures roam the streets, Krampus is not far away. In December, the Fuschlsee region becomes wild and untamed: the traditional Krampus Run brings eerie masks, roaring fires, and an atmosphere balanced between fascination and goosebumps. In many villages around Fuschl am See, St. Gilgen, or Hof near Salzburg, the so-called Passen parade through the streets. Each group has its own style and masks, creating an unforgettable Advent night that lingers long in memory.

 

Advent markets with soul: highlights around Fuschl

Advent Market 'Klein & Fein' at Lake Fuschl
A heartfelt project that radiates warmth: the charming charity Advent market 'Klein & Fein' in Fuschl delights with handmade gifts, cosy lights, and mulled wine for a good cause. Every visit supports social projects in the region – and every smile counts.

Wolfgangsee Advent
St. Gilgen, Strobl, and St. Wolfgang – three villages, one enchantment. A glowing peace lantern on the lake, torchlit paths, giant candles, and living nativity scenes. Just a few minutes’ drive from Vogl’s Nest and yet like stepping back in time.

Salzburg Christkindlmarkt
Set against the backdrop of the cathedral, lights sparkle, brass players perform from balconies, and the air is filled with the scent of roasted almonds. This traditional market in Salzburg is only 30 minutes away – perfect for a day trip full of festive flair.

Cultural events in Salzburg

Salzburg Festival (July–August)
When the streets fill with music, theatre, and elegance, Salzburg’s great season of festivals begins. A must for all culture enthusiasts.

Jazz & The City (October/November)
Free concerts in unexpected places: from courtyards to bars, Salzburg transforms into a jazz metropolis.

Rupertikirtag Salzburg – living tradition in September

The Rupertikirtag is a festival that feels as if it belongs to another time, and yet is very much part of today. Every September, Salzburg honours its patron saint with one of Austria’s oldest folk festivals. Around the Cathedral Square, traditional costumes meet time-honoured customs, artisan crafts stand alongside gingerbread hearts, and brass bands play while carousels turn. The air is filled with the scent of roasted almonds and freshly made doughnuts, while children enjoy joyful rides on the nostalgic carousel.
