Blüten-Brunch-Konzert by the Musikkapelle Tschars

A brunch concert among the flowers of the Vinschgau Valley

The Blüten-Brunch-Konzert by the Musikkapelle Tschars is one of the most beloved spring events in Castelbello-Ciardes/Kastelbell-Tschars, a municipality in the Vinschgau Valley in the province of Bolzano, in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. The event takes place in the village square of Tschars (Dorfplatz) and offers a morning of wind band music, fine food, and community spirit, just as the valley's orchards and meadows reach full bloom.

The Musikkapelle Tschars

The star of the event is the Musikkapelle Tschars, the local wind band, which is one of many such groups that bring South Tyrolean cultural life to the villages. These wind bands (Musikkapellen) are an integral part of South Tyrolean identity, accompanying festivals, anniversaries, and processions while preserving local traditions. For the Blüten-Brunch, the band presents a varied program ranging from traditional brass music to modern arrangements, offering something for all ages. The concert is also joined by the "Schrittweise" dance school, which enriches the morning with its performances.

Brunch, music, and conviviality

The "Blüten-Brunch" format combines a concert with an open-air brunch: while the band plays, visitors can enjoy dishes and drinks in the village square in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. It is the perfect opportunity to spend a spring Sunday immersed in the landscape of the lower Vinschgau Valley, surrounded by vineyards, apple orchards, and the silhouette of Castelbello Castle.

The Spargelzeit in Castelbello-Ciardes

The concert is part of the Spargelzeit, the asparagus weeks of Castelbello-Ciardes, which celebrate the prized local asparagus from mid-April to the end of May with themed menus, gourmet markets, guided tours of orchards and wineries, and numerous events. The Blüten-Brunch-Konzert is one of the opening highlights of this rich spring calendar.
