Bürgerkapelle Tramin Music Festival

The Musikfest of the Bürgerkapelle Tramin

The Bürgerkapelle Tramin Music Festival is the annual celebration of the civic band of Tramin an der Weinstraße, located in the heart of the South Tyrolean wine region in the province of Bolzano (Trentino-Alto Adige). The event takes place in early September at the Festplatz, the town's covered festival square, bringing together locals and visitors for a weekend of Tyrolean brass music, conviviality, and fine dining.

Two days of festivities

The program follows a long-standing tradition. On Saturday afternoon, the festival kicks off with the Einmarsch, a solemn parade starting from the town hall square and reaching the Festplatz, followed by an evening of entertainment with Tyrolean specialties and local wines. On Sunday, the event continues all day, from morning until late evening, with various guest brass bands taking the stage and festivities for all ages.

The civic band of Tramin

The Bürgerkapelle Tramin is one of the most deeply rooted bands in the Bassa Atesina, affiliated with the Verband Südtiroler Musikkapellen (VSM). It is under the artistic direction of conductor Norbert Rabanser. The band accompanies the civil and religious life of the municipality of Tramin throughout the year—from processions and anniversaries to seasonal concerts and Tyrolean patriotic celebrations—and in 2026, it celebrates its 185th anniversary with a special Jubiläumsfest in July, separate from the September Musikfest.
