Salzburg has offered a range of Advent and winter experiences as the UNESCO World Heritage city takes on an air of mystery during the festive season. Ten thousand red baubles transform Hellbrunn’s Lustgarten into a winter wonderland while the bells of the Krampuses ring out through the medieval lanes surrounding the Cathedral. The events calendar promises atmospheric experiences for music lovers and Christmas market visitors alike.
The Salzburg Advent Singing celebrates its 80th anniversary while the Hellbrunn Adventzauber Advent Magic marks its 25th year. The Salzburg Christkindlmarkt on Cathedral and Residenz squares runs from 19 November 2026 to 1 January 2027. A magical annual highlight is the fairytale forest of more than 700 conifer trees decorated with 10,000 red baubles and strings of lights that illuminate the grounds after dark.In January 2027 the Mozart Week once again presents a line-up and programme as the first major classical music event of the new year. Mozart Week takes place from 21 to 31 January 2027 under the artistic direction of Rolando Villazón. At its heart is a new staged production of Mozart’s opera Così fan tutte. The Sound of Music Salzburg major museum opened from 20 September 2026 in the gardens of Hellbrunn Palace
