Tires Music Band Aperitivo Lungo

An evening of music and conviviality at the foot of the Dolomites

The Tires Music Band Aperitivo Lungo is one of the most anticipated summer events in the municipality of Tires (Tiers), a small mountain village in the Val d'Ega, located in the autonomous province of Bolzano, in Trentino-Alto Adige. On a warm summer evening, the village square transforms into an open-air lounge where residents and guests gather to toast together and enjoy great music under the Dolomite sky.

Aperitifs, flavors, and good company

The heart of the event lies in its relaxed and informal atmosphere. At the stalls set up in the square, you can enjoy a selection of aperitifs and refreshing drinks, accompanied by simple and authentic snacks: bruschetta, focaccia, burgers, and other bites prepared for the occasion. It is the ideal setting for an evening with family or friends, with children free to play while adults enjoy a glass of wine and live music.

The Tires Music Band concert

Setting the rhythm for the evening is the Tires Music Band (Musikkapelle Tiers), the village's historic brass band and the true cultural soul of the community. The repertoire ranges from traditional South Tyrolean marches to popular melodies and lighter pieces, in perfect 'aperitivo lungo' style: a soundtrack that accompanies the audience from late afternoon until evening, at a leisurely pace.

Tires and the Val d'Ega

Nestled in the shadow of the imposing Catinaccio (Rosengarten) spires, Tires is a predominantly German-speaking village that preserves the band traditions typical of South Tyrol, where every town has its own Musikkapelle. Events like the Aperitivo Lungo combine the Central European band culture with the Mediterranean conviviality of the Italian aperitivo, creating a cultural fusion that makes this corner of the Dolomites truly special. The event is part of the rich summer calendar of the Val d'Ega (Eggental), which includes hikes, festivals, and open-air musical appointments.
