The start of the semester is just around the corner, and the Kaiviertelfest will be celebrating from Friday. "This year we have once again selected bands with a strong connection to the youth of Salzburg," says Dominik Tamegger, who is responsible for booking artists for the Kaiviertelfest. 

Even genuine Tiktok stars will be on stage at the event series. "MVX" is the name of the sibling trio who took part in "The Voice Kids" back in 2021 and have since built up a considerable internet fan base.

To ensure that the young audience doesn't just get a taste for music, there are discounts for students at participating restaurants and stores in the Kaiviertel. "If you show your student ID, you can pick up a goodie wristband in the courtyard of Paris Lodron University in Kapitelgasse and get a discount," explains Dominik Tamegger.

Completely new to the Kaiviertelfest program this year: the Salzburg State Parliament will open its doors to all interested parties on Saturday afternoon. Including guided tours of the premises. The fast-paced KTM Motohall and the puppet theater have already proven themselves.

The opening will take place on Friday from 4.30 pm on the main stage at Kajetanerplatz.
