What is happening in Austria this month?
December
Austria has been running the mountain railway from St. Wolfgang up the Schafberg since 1893. It will be running this year for Advent from 22nd November until 22nd December 2024.
November
This is the month of the Perchten celebrations, when people dress up as Monster type creatures. The history is that they scare children into being good! Then St Nicolas comes along and banishes them, bringing presents for the children.
it is also the month is taken up with preparations for the coming Advent markets.
So, many cafes, bars and restaurants are closed for a few weeks to have a break after the busy summer, and to get ready for the coming Christmas market guests.
October
The famous Wolfgangsee lauf (Marathon) around the lake is on 19th October. Now in it’s 52nd year!! There are various sections from junior to experienced, plus there is also a Walk the Lake challenge!

The famous Wolfgangsee lauf (marathon) run around the lake is now in it’s 52nd Year.
There are various classes of the run, from adult to children and even a walk around the lake. Check it out.
September
Latest event that happens once a year, in September is the Hay festival at Abtenau.
The village celebrates it’s long history of over 900 years with the Hay Festival.
This is apparently the biggest event in the World, that shows structures & figurines made of straw! It is certainly worth a visit as the parade normally starts at 11am and finishes at approx 1pm!! Then it is street party and Kaiser beer time!
Straw figurines of St George & the dragon, plus his horse of couse!
Events
Most of the events calendar for the summer has now come to an end. But this Friday 6th September, in St Gilgen, we have the Music concert at the Lakeside park.
This is mainly popular ‘Ommpah Music’ Brass band on stage playing lots of Folk music…very foot tapping and the temptation to start dancing is always in view.
For all the summer events and what is happening at the lakeside.

Tracht is a traditional garment (Dirndl & Lederhosen) or a dress code typically associated with Austria and Bavaria. It is the Sunday-best that you would have in your wardrobe. It is mostly worn on special occasions such as important festivals, Easter, Christmas, weddings, etc. They are often richly decorated, and the quality of the work represents a sign of the riches and social status of the person wearing it. In the broadest meaning, it is just synonym for everything you wear, including clothing, jewellery, hairstyle, make-up, accessories and insignia.
