For safety reasons

Stadlauer Kirtag canceled at short notice

Whether wild autodrome, crispy langos or colorful hustle and bustle - the Stadlauer Kirtag is one of the Viennese highlights in September every year. But now the popular festival has been canceled at short notice.

For the 28th time, Stadlauer Straße was supposed to be transformed into one of Vienna's largest fairgrounds from September 13 to 15. The Donaustädter Sport- und Kulturwochen association normally invites visitors to a three-day music program in Stadlauer Straße, which has something to offer for every taste. But this year, unfortunately, things are different. Gusts of wind of up to 80 km/h have been forecast for the coming weekend.

Weather experts are also expecting rain showers and low temperatures of up to nine degrees. The organizers have therefore decided to cancel the traditional festival at short notice.

"Unfortunately, we have to inform you that we are canceling the Stadlauer Kirtag due to weather and safety reasons!", explains Thomas Gollner, District Councillor of the SPÖ Donaustadt, on Facebook.

Safety first
According to the organizers, the safety of the guests naturally comes first. It is currently still completely unclear whether the traditional festival can be held again.
