BERGSILVESTER

Start the new year radiantly and with a powerful play of colors - this is what the Mountain New Year's Eve in Innsbruck invites you to do this year from Dec. 29, 2023 to Jan. 6, 2024. Around the turn of the year, color is brought into the winter landscape in the provincial capital. The Hofburg, St. Jacob's Cathedral and the famous row of houses in Mariahilf will each be transformed from 5 p.m. into a spectacular backdrop for extraordinary worlds of images and sounds by means of 3D facade mapping, which will give locals and guests alike a fitting start to the New Year with bright colors, gaudy effects and exciting motifs.

A colorful children's New Year's Eve program on December 30 in the Old Town as well as New Year's Eve with live musical acts in front of the Hofburg and fireworks on the Seegrube will bring the past year to a fitting close.

Immerse yourself in an imaginative and colorful world - the Tyrolean mountain and natural world reimagined

Embedded in the imposing backdrop of the Nordkette lies Innsbruck with its magnificent buildings of the inner and old town. At the same time, the central view is always of the impressivedrumountains that surround the state capital. This view is to be expanded during the 3D facade mapping. The widely known formations of the mountain worlds are transformed into completely new shapes and into ever-changing colors. Not only the guests, but also the locals may marvel at the possibilities of shapes in rocks and silhouettes that transform into fairy-tale and surreal landscapes. The alpine-urban flair of the city is brought to the facades - urban speed and dynamics combined with alpine deceleration. A constantly changing cultural space, a place of silence and bustle, a place to breathe, to climb mountains and ski; forests, heights as well as depths and at the same time quite colorful especially on New Year's Eve.

Celebrate into the New Year 2024

Also on December 31, the 3D facade mapping invites you to take a walk through the city, reviewing the past year. Those who want to usher in the new year in a sporty way have the opportunity to run into the new year with big steps at the New Year's Eve run through the city center starting at 4:15 pm.

From 9 p.m., it gets musical. "It's My Live" and "Living on a Prayer" will resound across the square that evening with the BOUNCE Bon Jovi tribute band, among others, and ensure a rousing atmosphere. Afterwards, DJ In-Style will heat up the stage with cool beats and transform the forecourt of the Hofburg into a party zone together with the visitors. In keeping with tradition, everyone will then count down to the New Year together - before a spectacular fireworks display on the Seegrube will be the final curtain call: Happy New Year 2024!
