The picturesque community of Altenmarkt-Zauchensee in the heart of SalzburgerLand is not only known for its breathtaking mountain scenery, but also for its lively customs and traditions. These values are lived and celebrated especially at Harvest Festival time, the 5th season of the year in SalzburgerLand. On this occasion on 22th September 2024, the “Musikanten.Roas” (roaming musicians) await you in Altenmarkt.
I once scoured Salzburg dialect dictionaries and read up on the meaning of “Roas”: “Roas” simply stands for “journey”, and the Altenmarkt Musikanten.Roas earns its name in every respect. Particularly because the three music groups that are roaming Altenmarkt this year, i.e. moving from one inn to another, entertain locals and guests with traditional music and folk songs. Incidentally, they play “unplugged”, i.e. without electronic aids, just as it used to be.
These festivals of music and tradition are more than just events – they are experiences that touch the soul and celebrate the joy of cultural heritage. Will you be there too?
