And keep it up – Culture it‘s all of us!: On 30/11/24 from 11am-8pm, the European Capital of Culture Bad Ischl Salzkammergut 2024 and the Upper Austrian KulturEXPO Anton Bruckner 2024 are joining forces again at the ALFA Laakirchen to celebrate this diverse super year of culture together with the region, Upper Austria and the whole of Europe and to remember what inspired, surprised and drove us forward this year. They will also look to the future. With concerts, theatre, a children’s programme, readings, vernissages, a cinema room, culinary delights and much more, there is something for everyone!
Afterwards, the party continues open-ended through the night in the centre of Gmunden. Concerts, DJ sets, performances and late-night readings await you there (free shuttle service from Laakirchen to Gmunden).
On 01/12 at 11 am, the hangover breakfast – networking and coming together – will take place in the Remise 1894 Stern & Hafferl, also in Gmunden.
We are looking forward to ending this European Capital of Culture year together, which also stands for a new beginning in the Salzkammergut and for the future of rural areas: culture is the new salt!
