Woodstock of Brass MusicWoodstock der Blasmusik

An international four-day brass music festival in Ort im Innkreis, featuring traditional and modern Blasmusik ensembles. Originating from a local concert in 2006, it grew to become a major community event. Highlights include the massive ‚Gesamtspiel‘ where hundreds of bands and thousands of musicians play together. The festival combines concerts, competitions (Woodgames), and family activities, reflecting the deep brass-band tradition of the region 1 2.

Brass band music is a strong pillar of Upper Austrian folk culture. Woodstock der Blasmusik emphasizes communal participation and hearing each generation of musicians, embedding itself as a modern expression of rural musical heritage. Local clubs and volunteers organize food stands and seating, making it a community-driven gathering 1 2.
