Maypole installation with Strobl's local dance group

The traditional costume association D'Bleckwandla invites you to the annual maypole erection in Strobl on the village square. Our traditional maypole hut provides refreshments from 16:00. Also: performance by the children's group!

A maypole is a specially prepared and decorated tree trunk which, in this area, is installed the evening before 1st May. During installation process there is often a performance by the local folklore group. Part of the tradition is for a rival group to try to steal the maypole before it is erected. In the night before the installation it is, therefore, usually very well guarded.
