Harvest Festival in Grossarltal

August 23th - October 31st, 2025

Harvest Festival is arguably one of the most beautiful hiking seasons of the year. The clear mountain air and seemingly endless views invite you to marvel at the unique alpine panorama of the Hohe Tauern range. Harvest Festival is also the time for the cattle drive down from the high pastures and an array of thanksgiving festivals.

The Harvest Festival unites the three pillars of "Agriculture," "Regional Delicacies from the Kitchen & Cellar," and "Living Folk Culture," which together create a charming whole that contributes to the festival's overall success.

The Salzburger Bauernherbst celebrates its 30th anniversary under the motto ‘G'sungen und G'spielt’, which focuses on traditional music. Music has always characterised the festivals in SalzburgerLand and creates atmospheric moments and a sense of community. In Grossarltal, visitors can look forward to a special sound experience with numerous events celebrating the musical tradition.
