The story

Liechtensteiner Verbandsmusikfest in Vaduz

The 77th annual gathering of Liechtenstein's brass and wind bands, hosted in 2026 by the Harmoniemusik Vaduz under the motto So klingt Vaduz, featuring a Bavarian-themed Friday evening concert and a full Saturday of massed band performances and a parade through the streets of the host municipality.

The Liechtensteiner Verbandsmusikfest is the annual gathering of the country's brass and wind bands, organized under the umbrella of the Liechtensteiner Blasmusikverband and hosted each year by a different member band in rotation across Liechtenstein's eleven municipalities.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Hosting duties rotate each year among Liechtenstein's village bands, meaning the festival effectively tours the country's eleven municipalities over time, with each host choosing its own theme, decorations, and program details

02

The mystery stays covered

The 2026 edition's Friday evening built around the Bavarian band Die Kirchdorfer gave the festival an Oktoberfest-style social evening ahead of Saturday's more traditional massed-band parade and concert program

03

The city starts moving

Now past its 75th edition, the festival is one of Liechtenstein's oldest continuously running cultural traditions, reflecting the country's unusually dense network of active amateur brass and wind bands
