New Year Program in Kitzbühel

Kitzbühel shines in festive light from December 30, 2024 to January 01, 2025. Picturesque house facades, special squares and monuments will be illuminated and staged in a merry festive style. The light installations bring warmth into the dark season and combine architecture, city history and illumination into an amazing total work of art. Marvel at the moving light objects - we will take you on a radiant winter fairy tale.

On December 31, 2024 and January 1, 2025, a colorful array of street performers will delight visitors in downtown Kitzbühel. Starting at 15:00 p.m., chimney sweepers parade through the Gamsstadt and spread a festive mood, while stilt walkers and artists amaze the guests. Let yourself be enchanted and get in the mood for the upcoming turn of the year together with us.

The Spielvolk unerringly hits the moment of fascination and captivates every visitor with its extraordinary program. When it gets dark, the stunning costumes of the street performers unfold their special charm and thus make your evening unforgettable. 

The saxophone quartet Saxlamanda presents a New Year's program of a special kind: the four musicians, all classically trained, get their listeners in the mood for the coming year with a dynamic performance. The audience on the stage in Kitzbühel's Vorderstadt on January 1st, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. will experience atmospheric blue notes and revitalized classic hits. The four Tyroleans inspire with a fine balance between sound power and chamber music lightness.
