In the Salzburg city center, on the Mozartplatz, a special ice skating place with an unique scenery awaits.
From November 12th until January 9th the ice skating place is open. There is also an ice skating shoes rental and a reduction for children and students.
For those who do not want to skate or warm themselves up, there are several market stands with punch and other drinks and also the Christmas market next to the ice skating place.
An unique festival is the festival for contemporary circus, the Winter festival.
Contemporary circus, also called ‘Nouveau Cirque’ is an art form comprising dance, music, acting, acrobatics and puppet theatre.
Its 10 years now, the Winter festival takes place in Salzburg. The festival is very popular, although it is quite a contrast to Christmastime. Additional, there is an exhibition called ‘the circus comes to town’ from Wayne Schoenfeld in one of the tents.
Enjoy an extraordinary evening with your friends, circus performances, food and drinks!
Salzburg Militia
Every year at the beginning of November, the militia organizes a popular festivity: St. Martins feast, in the honour of the city and militia patron, the holy Martin.
The ceremonial act starts at the dome in Salzburg, where the city militia and other militias from the country come together to celebrate the mass. Afterwards there is a procession through the city centre.
At midday, parts of the militia and many interested people come together at the Mönchsberg for a shooting match. With crossbows they compete against each other and there is also a shooting match for non-militia members. The shooting match has an historic origin and reminds of times when the citizens of Salzburg still had to defend themselves.
