Salzburg Culture Days

October 16 - October 27, 2013

Salzburg Culture Days are held in Mozart's city every October. The event originated from the idea to use the city as a venue for top-notch performances and concerts by national and international performers in the fall as well. Founded in 1972, the Salzburg Culture Days immediately established themselves as a permanent fixture of the culture program.

The networking concept
Several event organizers ranging from the Landestheater to Cathedral Music and from the Palace Concerts to the Culture Society pool their offers during two weeks in October  under the name Salzburg Culture Days. The event primarily addresses opera, ballet and concert fans. The venues include Salzburg Cathedral, the Large Festival Hall, the Mozarteum and the Marble Hall in Mirabell Palace.

Salzburg Culture Society
The Salzburg Culture Society was founded in 1947. The signet of the horse tamer in front of the Festival Hall clearly shows that most of the Salzburg Culture Society's events are held at the Large Festival Hall. The Salzburg Street Theater  was established in 1970, playing to thousands of spectators in the city and province of Salzburg each year during the Festival season. The Salzburg Culture Days were founded two years later.
