Tips & Advice

  • Bring the kids on Friday afternoon to make lanterns in the pavilion, then come back Saturday so they can carry them in the lantern walk.
  • Let the kids roast marshmallows and sausages at the fire pit, which is part of the daily program next to the straw playground.
  • Check the weather on Saturday, because the lantern festival moves to Sunday at the same time if the weather is bad.
  • Come on Sunday late morning for the Frühschoppen, when Stadtkapelle Traiskirchen plays brass music while you enjoy regional food, wine and punch.
  • Dress warmly, since the market, lantern walk and fire pit are all outdoors in the Kurpark in mid-November.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Friday: lantern-making workshop in the pavilion, followed by Geschichtenzauber stories of Saint Martin and Saint Leopold.
