Jazz & the City
Annual October jazz festival. Vast majority of performances free. Baroque squares become jazz stages. Four days. More local and intimate than the classical Festival. One of the most accessible events in the Salzburg calendar.

Mozartwoche
One of the world's great chamber music festivals, entirely Mozart, each January around his birthday (27 January). Organised by the Stiftung Mozarteum. January is low season in Salzburg: a genuine insider reason to visit outside the crowds.
Rupertikirtag
Salzburg's oldest folk festival. Late September around St. Rupert's feast day (24 September). Residenzplatz and Altstadt fill with fairground stalls, traditional food, local beer. Belongs primarily to residents, not tourists.
Siemens Festspielleinwand
Free outdoor screen at Kapitelplatz during the Salzburg Festival. Live and recorded Festival performances broadcast for free. Picnics and drinks under the open sky. The essential alternative for visitors without Festival tickets.
