A good combination! Jazz and mountains for those who prefer the cool wide spaces to the beach. The Meranojazz Festival takes place between the 9-13 July 2013 in Castel Kallmunz park, in the centre of the town.
The Festival also includes a series of workshops and jazz lessons, held by the Mitteleuropean Jazz Academy. The event, started in 2000, has hosted memorable jam sessions with jazz professionals from all over the world performing with young up-and-coming talents.
Merano is also involved in the Sudtirol Jazz Festival, which took place in 20 different towns in Alto Adige between the 28 June-7 July 2013.
For those who prefer the peaceful atmosphere of bygone years, Merano stages its World Music Festival "Serate ai Giardini" at the Waterlily Pond in the splendid gardens of Castel Trauttmansdorff, better known as "the Gardens of Sissi", named after Elisabetta, the
legendary Empress of the Austrian-Hungarian empire. The gardens have been proclaimed "International garden of the Year 2013".
