@celtkilt The Tresterers told us during the research interview that they are doing it in the period of December 5th until January 6th. Our contact person was Hermann Schmiderer, who revived the Tresterer tradition. I tried to mention that all in my article titled "Tresterer Tanz" on the Dancilla-Wiki.
Thanks, Dancilla, I will check it out. In the meantime friends who have been to Austria filled me in a little bit about it. The man thing I still dont know is the date. Some sources say St Nicholas Day, others say Christmas Eve, still others say Twelfth Night.
@celtkilt I have a field report ov a visit to the Trestere (where I also created this video) available on Dancilla (the main website) in the wiki. Just search there for Tresterer (the text is in German, but use babelfish or Google translate).
I think I even had an English that I made once, but I cannot find it.
