Described as Austria’s largest folk festival, the Neustifter Kirtag takes place from August 22nd to 25th. It’s scheduled to start on Friday at 5.30pm.
People are asked to come wearing their traditional national costume (Tracht) and can enjoy regional wines and food and traditional music during the four day festival, which attracts thousands of visitors each year.
Admission is free, and the area will be closed to traffic.
