Bauernherbst
in Wagrain-Kleinarl
Tradition & customs in harvest season
The province of Salzburg is known for premium natural products from local agriculture. During the Bauernherbst, from 11th to 19th September 2020, it’s all about the production and consumption of agricultural products.
The motto 2020 is "Danced up in the Bauernherbst". Music and dance are deeply rooted in rural traditions. Whether at weddings, festivals or just for an evening get-together - unimaginable without songs and dances. The customs here often differ greatly from village to village. So you will experience an authentic Bauernherbst in every village. Enjoy the tranquility in the mountains as well as the traditional events in Wagrain-Kleinarl.
In the "fifth season" in Salzburg, you can taste lots of local delicacies.
Bauernherbst is partly canceled!
In autumn 2020, the Bauernherbst events will only take place on a limited scale!
We are looking forward to see you at the big events next year!
