Harvest Festival in Maria Alm: 2014 dates
The theme of this year’s Harvest Festival is “originally provincial and quaintly beautiful”. The Harvest Festival starts on 2 September with the 6th Maria Alm Dumpling Festival. Enjoy sweet and savoury dumplings on the village square with live music. The Hinterthal Harvest Festival on 13 September offers traditional Pinzgau delicacies, craftsmanship presentations, the original farmer’s market and a traditional Schuhplattler. There’s even more of that on 20 September, when the Maria Alm Harvest Festival takes place. Celebrate the ceremonial driving down of cattle from the mountain pastures into the valley with show grass cutting, the Schnalzer group and the traditional costume band of Maria Alm.
