Music and traditions
Parade of the "Mùsega Auta Fascia" band along the central Strada Rezia and concert in the square in front of the tourist office
For the summer cycle of "Music and traditions", once a week a local band or by another one coming from the nearest valleys will entertain the public with their repertoire. Enliven by the volunteering spirit that is characteristic of the Trentino South Tyrol, the brass band is an occasion to socialize between people of different ages, where everybody puts his own passion at the service of the community, transmitting the habits, the costumes and the history of the society. The evening, starting at 9 p.m., includes a parade along the main street of Vigo (Strada Rezia) and concert in the square in front of the tourist office.
The "Mùsega Auta Fascia" band was founded to bring music to the peaks of the upper Val di Fassa, bringing musical study and passion closer to the inhabitants of Mazzin, Campitello and Canazei, without forcing them to travel long distances. Founded in 2006, it started with a double boost: around thirty young people led by Maestro Stefano Lazzer and an ensemble of 25 adults conducted by Maestro Paolo Rasom. The debut came on 22 November 2008, the feast day of Saint Cecilia, patron saint of musicians. Since 2010, the notes have been accompanied by the smiles of the "Marchetènderes", traditional costumed vendors who bring colour and cheer to the parades. Since then, the "Mùsega Auta Fascia" has performed in unique locations: on the summit of the Marmolada for the 150th anniversary of the conquest of Punta Penia, in Munich for Oktoberfest 2017, and at Sass Pordoi in 2020 to celebrate the post-Covid restart. Today, under the direction of bandmaster Fabio Riz, the band continues to thrill audiences with its spring and Christmas concerts: eagerly awaited events that bring the community together and make the mountains dance to the sound of music.
In case of rain, the parade will be cancelled and only the concert will take place at the events pavilion in front of Hotel Vael.
