Kaprun isn’t just a destination for natural beauty and alpine adventures—it’s also a lively village that celebrates culture, tradition, and community through a variety of events held throughout the year. Whether you're visiting in winter or summer, there's always something happening to make your trip extra special.

In winter, Kaprun shines with festive charm. The ski season brings not only world-class slopes but also events like Ski Pride Kaprun, an inclusive and vibrant celebration on the Kitzsteinhorn glacier filled with skiing, parties, and social gatherings. Around the holidays, the village transforms with twinkling lights and cozy Christmas markets, offering mulled wine, handmade crafts, and seasonal treats.

As the snow melts and the mountains bloom, summer festivals take over. The Line Dance AlpFestival in June draws dancers from all over Europe for open-air performances and workshops set against a backdrop of mountain peaks. In July, the historic Kaprun Castle Festival brings the Middle Ages to life with knights, traditional music, and medieval cuisine inside the village's 12th-century fortress.

August is a great time to experience local culture at the Traditional Village Festival, where the community comes together with folk costumes, music, and delicious regional food. For a magical summer night, don't miss the Mystical Night of Water at the Sigmund Thun Gorge—a unique event where the gorge is lit up with colorful lights and accompanied by storytelling, music, and the sound of rushing water.

Whether you're looking to dance under the stars, explore ancient traditions, or simply soak up the festive atmosphere, Kaprun’s events bring the village to life and offer unforgettable memories throughout the seasons.
