Schlandersburger Sommerabende

The Schlandersburger Sommerabende in Silandro

The Schlandersburger Sommerabende ("Schlandersburg Summer Evenings") are among the most beloved summer cultural events in the Vinschgau Valley, located in the autonomous province of Bolzano/Bozen, in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. Every Tuesday evening from June to August, the courtyard of Schlandersburg Castle in Silandro/Schlanders transforms into an open-air stage for a series of live concerts.

A unique Renaissance setting

Schlandersburg Castle is considered the most significant Renaissance building in the Vinschgau Valley. Its inner courtyard, with its 16th-century loggias and architecture, provides intimate acoustics and an atmosphere that makes every evening feel both refined and personal. The series is organized by the Mittelpunktsbibliothek Schlandersburg, the public library housed within the castle itself, highlighting the deep connection between this cultural institution and the local community.

Live music of all genres

The program is remarkably varied, spanning from Alpine folk to classical chamber music, jazz, singer-songwriter sets, sacred music, and crossover sounds. Each evening features a different ensemble or artist, with a special focus on both South Tyrolean talent and international guests. Concerts typically begin at 8:30 PM, as the sunset light washes over the castle walls.

A summer staple in Silandro

For both locals and the many tourists visiting the Vinschgau Valley, the Schlandersburger Sommerabende offer a wonderful way to discover the historical heritage of Silandro while enjoying music, culture, and social connection. The series is a key part of the summer event calendar for the municipality of Silandro and the Schlanders-Laas tourist area, helping to showcase the historic center of the Vinschgau's main town.
