The festival for contemporary circus art in Salzburg

The Winterfest in Salzburg has long enjoyed an international reputation in the contemporary circus world. The Winterfest has now developed into the largest festival for modern circus art in the German-speaking world.

Around 30,000 visitors gather under the tent peaks in the Volksgarten every winter.

There they are transported to a world of captivating acrobatics, quiet poetry and crazy stories. The festival is rounded off by an exciting supporting programme and a wide range of culinary delights.

The philosophy behind the Winterfest is simple: to give people peace and leisure during the hectic (pre-)Christmas period. A visit to the Winterfest is an evening of wonder and adventure, best combined with the culinary offerings on site. The Volksgarten is the ideal venue for this because it has a tradition of entertainment.
