Donaukanaltreiben

The three-day music, culture and food festival will draw about 30,000 guests to the Danube Canal in Vienna for the thirteenth time, from May 24 to 26. The city center watercourse, which is normally a popular local recreation area, becomes the stage for numerous live concerts by mostly Austrian indie bands on this long weekend.

There is a brilliantly colorful program from the Spittelau to Franzensbrücke, with free admission to around 15 venues, including the Summerstage, Strandbar Herrmann, the Grelle Forelle, the Adria Wien, the Motto am Fluss and the Pool Boat. The DJ sets, food market, moonlight bazaar, sports action and program for children will evoke a vacation feeling – as, of course, will any number of live concerts by predominantly Austrian bands.
