Another highlight of the year is the Attergau Summer of Culture in July and August. The festival has a tradition of more than thirty years and enchants every summer with high-calibre stars.

Every year in July and August, the Steinbach Philharmonic Weeks in the Steinbach parish church also provide musical excitement.
And then there is the artists' trail, which leads partly across meadows, but also has an alpine character in places. Audio equipment is available for hire to provide the right musical accompaniment.
Gustav Klimt, the world-famous painter, spent many summers in the region. His favourite motif was Lake Attersee and the surrounding landscape. In June 2019, the first ‘Gustav Klimt Garden’ will open in the park in front of the marina in Kammer.
