July 2014 Theme Day: Celebrating Summer




The summer is really celebrated in South Tyrol.
There are so many events, festivals, concerts, theater performances...
The most popular, however, are the "Wiesenfeste" (meadow festivals), with music, dance, entertainment, games, good food and drink.
Here are two photos of a "Wiesenfest" in Gargazon / Gargazzone.

If the weather is uncertain, then a large tent is pitched, and then it becomes a "Zeltfest" (tent festival).
Tomorrow I'll show you a few pictures of a "Zeltfest".
(It is the same as a "Wiesenfest", only in a big tent).

  4. Sieht recht gesellig aus. Ich erinnere mich wohl an das Sonnwendfest in Hintertiersee. Die Kapelle was das Hintertiersee Quintett, alle sieben Mann . . . selten haben wir so geschmunzelt.
    Auch all die Sonnwendfeuer auf den Höhen über Innsbruck sind noch frisch in meiner Erinnerung nach so vielen Jahren.

    1. Yes, it does, Bolzano is one of the hottest cities in Italy in the summer.
      (and one of the coldest in the winter).
