drumherum 2024 in Retrospect
With an opening gala, crafts market, international folk music fair, and a packed tavern program, the 2024 festival once again confirmed its status as one of Europe's most important folk music festivals. The program included concerts from across the Alpine region (Bavaria, Tyrol, South Tyrol, Switzerland) as well as from Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
Tradition and Innovation
In 2024, the festival again focused on mixing generations: Stubenmusi seniors played alongside young hammered dulcimer ensembles, traditional dances met experimental crossover projects. The Wirtshausakademie attracted numerous young musicians from across the German-speaking world to Regen.
