Tuesday Evening in Merano 2026 • VisitMerano

Immerse yourself in the magic of the “Long Tuesdays in Merano 2026”! Here music, fun and cultural exchange come together for an unforgettable experience.

It is the absolute cult event of the Merano summer: as the sun slowly sinks behind the peaks of the Texel Group in midsummer, the historic spa town transforms into a vibrant open-air stage dedicated to music, concerts, and great entertainment. The highly popular „DienstagAbende“ event series organized by the Merano Tourist Board has captured everyone's hearts.

Every Tuesday, locals from the entire surrounding area and visitors gather in the town center to enjoy the carefree Mediterranean lifestyle and the balmy summer nights together. It is the perfect opportunity to experience the town at its most convivial, make new connections, and feel the culture first-hand.

Program Highlights

The evening starts cozily in the late afternoon hours: from 6:30 PM, the traditional handicraft market draws visitors to upper Freiheitsstraße (right in front of the tourist information office). Local artists and producers present their lovingly handmade crafts, unique items, and high-quality regional products – the perfect spot to browse, stroll, and discover authentic souvenirs.

From 8:30 PM, the town belongs entirely to music. Five stages spread across the entire town center ensure a varied program that leaves nothing to be desired. From rock rhythms and pop classics to jazzy tunes and gentle acoustic sets, the various bands transform the city center into a massive open-air concert venue under the summer sky.

A very special highlight awaits you from 9:00 PM at Sandplatz: as soon as the music starts playing, the square turns into the largest and most atmospheric dance floor in town! Until 11:00 PM, everyone is cordially invited to dance under the stars. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced dancer – professional dance schools are on-site to assist with tips and short choreographies. No admission fee, no excuses – just join in and dance!

The evening is also an absolute highlight for families: on the Kurpromenade, right in front of the Kurhaus, the Kids Corner opens its doors from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Children can experience a magical world of clowning, magic tricks, and creative workshops. At the colorful face-painting station, the little ones transform into mythical creatures, and during the popular Baby Dance, even the youngest can dance along to their favorite songs.
