STADTTEILFEST WILTEN-WALDBAHN to IGLS in the fall: new highlights and traditions

On Saturday, October 19, 2024, the second district festival in October will be celebrated in Wilten. A large street festival awaits visitors on the forecourt of Wilten Abbey from 2 pm. The organ concert in Wilten Abbey Church begins at 1 pm. As a prelude to the district festival, the Wilten music band will enter and ceremoniously open the festival. Throughout the afternoon, visitors can look forward to an extensive children's and family program. Games, workshops and creative and movement stations offer the young guests plenty of variety. Catering will also be provided. In the evening, the band Cotton Underwear will provide the musical highlight and heat things up with their energetic performance.

A special program highlight: the panoramic streetcar line 6 (Waldbahn) becomes a train for all the senses. From Wilten to Igls, visitors will experience an unforgettable journey with a variety of activities at several stations - from musical performances to relaxing yoga sessions and guided tours of Ambras Castle (in cooperation with Innsbruck Tourismus and the FH Kufstein - Sports, Culture and Event Management degree program).
