The story

Maibaumfeier Schaan in Schaan

A traditional May Day maypole celebration organized by the Harmoniemusik Schaan brass band, with live music from around eleven in the morning, food and drink stands run by volunteers, and a decorated maypole marking the arrival of spring in an easygoing, family-friendly village gathering open to all.

On the first of May, the Harmoniemusik Schaan, the village's civilian brass and wind band, organizes a Maibaumfeier, a traditional maypole celebration rooted in the wider Alpine custom of marking the start of spring with a decorated pole raised in a public square.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

The celebration is run entirely by the Harmoniemusik Schaan rather than the municipality, giving it the informal feel of a village band's open house alongside the maypole custom itself

The mystery stays covered

Unlike more theatrical maypole traditions elsewhere in the Alpine region that involve mock pole-stealing rivalries between neighboring towns, Schaan keeps its focus on music and hospitality

The city starts moving

Food and drink proceeds typically support the band's instruments and activities through the year, making attendance a modest act of community support as much as a springtime outing
