Schlagergarten Gloria fights for survival
No state funding for Schlagergarten Gloria in Graz: crowdfunding to save the event for the second time in a row
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Fans already had to rescue the Schlagergarten Gloria in Graz from financial misery in 2024. This year, the Province of Styria rejected the application despite the recommendation of the Cultural Board of Trustees - even though the event can boast an impressive 10,000 visitors.
The reason? No budget. "The decision from Stadt-Graz-Kultur is still pending. But one thing is clear. There will be less," says organizer Gregor Schenker.
Expensive fixed costs
40,000 euros are needed for infrastructure alone (police, waste disposal, stage, sound, security, sanitary facilities, etc.), 15,000 for artists and the 30-strong team. With "swarm funding" via GoFundMe, the Schlagergarten will now be able to take place on April 27 after all: "If every bee that flies to the Schlagergarten puts a fiver in the virtual hat, it will pay off."
In addition to a clear conscience, those who donate will also receive friendship bracelets and backstage passes, according to the organizer.
