The Salzburg Philharmonic and the Children's Festival
have been confirmed Green Event Organizers since 2025!

Since nature and climate protection are very important to us, the Salzburg Philharmonic and the Children's Festival have decided to pay even more attention to ecological, economic and social sustainability in all their events in the future (even more than before). In doing so, we are guided by the principles of the Green Event program, which is supported and controlled by the State of Salzburg. The program's main focuses include:

  • Climate protection
  • resource conservation
  • strengthening the regional economy
  • awareness raising

The great thing about it is that quality and climate protection measures often go hand in hand in practice. We hope to set a good example with our commitment to the Green Event guidelines, which has been in place since the beginning of 2025!
