In the splendid setting of San Vigilio di Marebbe, after almost 20 years, the prestigious competition organized by the HVO (Harmonika Verband Österreichs - the Austrian accordion association) returns to South Tyrol, where hundreds of participants from all over the world will compete to emerge as the best accordionist of 2026.
Alongside the World Championships, the National Championships will also be held on the same days, with Italy's best accordionists competing.
With the level of both competitions rising year on year, only excellence will prevail. One thing is certain, however: we can look forward to some extraordinary performances.
In addition to the competitions, there will be free concerts and evening events at the Pavillon di San Vigilio on the evenings of 4, 5 and 6 June. For the full programme, please visit the page at:
