Gauverband Nordamerika

The Bayerischer Trachtenverband has introduced a new monthly e-magazine premiering today! It is called TraDi--Tracht und Tradition Digital. The focus of the magazine is to provide in-depth articles about traditions that take place in Bayern. On the first of every month, the new issue of the magazine will be announced on the Trachtenverband's website and its other social media platforms. The first issue has 8 articles in it that take up 28 pages. Different knowledgeable authors write the interesting articles, there are plenty of beautiful photos, and the layout is terrific.

Here's a link to a wonderful video (5 minutes) about the newly opened Trachtenmuseum in Holzhausen. The museum was completed and opened in early September. Abendschau - Der Süden: Das neue Trachtenkulturmuseum | ARD Mediathek  Sounds like many of us will be planning a visit there on our next trip to Bayern!

The Bayerischer Trachtenverband has published its list of seminars for 2024. These will be held at the Trachtenkulturzentrum in Holzhausen throughout the year starting in February.
