Wiener Festwochen (Vienna Festival) is a six-week celebration of theater, music, and art that transforms Austria’s capital into a vibrant stage each May and June. Founded in 1951, the festival brings together international artists, avant-garde productions, and cutting-edge performances in venues ranging from grand theaters to open-air stages across Vienna. With its blend of classical tradition and contemporary experimentation, the Wiener Festwochen embodies the city’s cultural dynamism and remains one of Europe’s most prestigious multidisciplinary festivals.
