Bad Ischl Brass Band’s Imperial Party

Once again the annual Imperial Party, on 15th August , welcomes visitors for a colourful musical programme.

The Bad Ischl Brass Band was founded in 1870 and already from 1871 it joined the annual festivities on the eve of the emperor’s birthday. We can see from the brass band’s chronicle that the band used to perform on a boat on Traun River, in front of the fountain at today’s Schröpferplatz square or in the pavilion in the Esplanade. When the brass band was asked to organize a Party in 1982, they became aware of their tradition. Thus the band organizes the Imperial Party that is now held annually on 15 August.
