Harvest time village festival in Faistenau

A whole-day village festival with craft demonstrations awaits visitors at the village square.

The festival begins at 10:00 a.m. with a festive mass on the festival stage under the 1000-year-old lime tree. The procession of traditional cultural associations will also take place, accompanied by a small brass group.

After the festive mass, the mayor will officially open the festival and perform the Stiegl beer tapping.

At 11:00 a.m., a tour of the festival grounds will start, followed by a concert by the traditional music band Faistenau at various locations.
Throughout the day, musical entertainment will be provided, including performances by the Emaus disciples, who will present traditional brass music on historical instruments.

The Faistenauer folk song singing circle invites everyone to sing according to this year's motto at 12:00 p.m., as well as this year represented on the festival stage by our Foast.Xong and Foast.Kids at 2:00 p.m.

At 1:15 p.m., the traditional dancing of the local association "zur Alten Linde" will take place under the 1000-year-old lime tree.

At the stalls, there will be demonstrations of old crafts and agricultural arts such as: knitting, making rakes, sharpening knives, tying alpine wreaths, feather quill stitching, basket weaving, carpet weaving, painting porcelain, and much more.

The church path with the open museum in the shooting range invites exploration, and there is a comprehensive children's program for the little guests. The wooden skittles alley, alpacas, and horse-drawn carriage rides will also bring enthusiasm.

As a sporting attraction, the traditional "Fuaßhakl" competition for young and old will take place on the festival stage shortly after 3:00 p.m.

A great variety of food will be provided. At the Faistenauer gourmet street, smoked Faistenau trout, cheese dumplings, roast pig, surbraten, organic ice cream, doughnuts, and Pofesen will await, just to name a few. Homemade juices and schnapps will appropriately round off the Faistenauer harvest festival.

The event will be held as a greenevent, and visitors are asked to arrive without cars if possible, contributing to climate protection. Bus connections can be checked on the website salzburg-verkehr.at. A shuttle service will take visitors from the parking lots and bus stops to the festival grounds.
