Klosn Festival in Stilfs
Ons redactieteam doet altijd zijn best om gedetailleerde en accurate informatie te geven. Het is echter mogelijk dat evenementen worden gewijzigd en dat we ze niet in realtime kunnen bijwerken. Je kunt de precieze data, tijden en programma's rechtstreeks bij de organisator opvragen.In the village in the area of Mt. Ortler, the traditional "Klosn Festival" accompanies the St. Nicholas’ Day. Today, nobody knows where this tradition comes from. However, on 1st December 2023 (usually the Saturday before or after St. Nicholas’ Day) it’s again time for this custom.
Then, the young boys from Stilfs and environs slip again into multi-coloured robes, put on terrifying masks and heavy bells. In this disguise they roam noisily through the streets. St. Nicholas ("Santa Klos") joins the queue too. He is accompanied by four wise men clothed all in white and he isn’t impressed at all by the hustle and bustle, but he just calmly follows the parade.
A short moment of quiet is granted in the evening during the Hail Mary tolling. Afterwards, the loud and funny "Klosn Festival" with food, drinks and music will still last long into the night.
