Summernight St. Wolfgang

The Summer Nights 2026 will take place on 22 June, 6 and 20 July and 3 and 17 August in the center of St. Wolfgang.

The summer nights in St. Wolfgang are legendary and a must-attend event for music and food lovers far beyond the Salzkammergut region. Once again this year, St. Wolfgang invites you to enjoy culinary delights and thrilling rhythms.

You can stroll through St. Wolfgang accompanied by relaxed music, while the aroma of delicious food fills the air. The gentle summer breeze from Lake Wolfgang refreshes your skin, and you can meet friends and guests over a cool drink - the St. Wolfgang Summer Nights embody all of this. The success of this series of events is remarkable. The summer nights have been held in St. Wolfgang for 29 years and their fascination is unbroken.

Culinary and musical delights
Delicacies as far as the eye can see - a total of 16 restaurants and young farmers from St. Wolfgang take part in the Summer Nights. Angus beef burgers, wooden dumplings, fresh foam rolls, truffle fries, oysters & champagne, farmer's bosna, chanterelle sauce with bread dumplings, Mediterranean scampi skewers and the popular pulled pork burgers will make the hearts of locals and guests beat faster. Things get refreshing at Uferplatz, where cocktails such as mojito, piña colada, children's cocktails and more are served. The motto is: taste, feast and enjoy.
