The show stage and marquee will be set up soon. The bands are ready: In Leitzersdorf, Korneuburg district, preparations are underway for the "Herzensmensch" festival. A unique program attracts guests on 30 June.

Helpful people, active clubs and association-friendly communities will be brought to the fore as part of the "Krone Herzensmensch" campaign. No municipality won more readers' hearts in 2023 than Leitzersdorf. The municipality in the Weinviertel region beat 33 others and is now being rewarded with a big celebration.

The 1200-inhabitant village of Leitzersdorf is home to 26 clubs. "The many leisure groups and volunteers make our community worth living and loving," explains Mayor Sabine Hopf. Here, the clubs are supported in many ways, for example financially and by making rooms available. The Waschberg cross-country race also confirms the good cooperation between clubs and the municipality.

A colorful program
Now the title will be celebrated together on the sports field on Sunday, June 30. It starts at 10 a.m. with a festive mass, at 11 a.m. the Jugend-Radetzkykapelle Heldenberg takes over the musical command. The winners of the "Herzensmensch" campaign will then take to the stage at the ceremony at 12.30 pm. There will also be a dance performance by the group "Bunt gemischt", which came second in last year's "Herzensmensch" campaign.

And "Herzensmensch" Alexander Schneller from Circus Pikard will be organizing a circus act. At 1.30 p.m., pop star Marc Pircher will provide the atmosphere. And he promises: "Of course I will also sing Sieben Sünden." At around 2.30 p.m., the attention will turn to the local heroes: "Die Wilden Kaiser" will perform. A children's program and a club fair round off the program. Admission is free!
