Fascinating Events
Kitzbühel is an events hotspot. On mild summer evenings, you can sit back and enjoy an aperitif on the terrace of one of the town’s many restaurants whilst listening to live music. The KITZ Summer Nights event brings concerts and outdoor cinema screenings to the town centre throughout the summer. Golf aficionados come together for the Kitzbühel Golf Festival in late June, a sporting event with a culinary twist (i.e. a different award-winning chef serving up their culinary creations every evening). And the Classic in the Alps festival delivers opera and classical music to the mountains of Kitzbühel.
