Severe Weather Cancels Major Austrian Events

Published: 2024-09-11

Austria is bracing for severe weather conditions, leading to the cancellation of several major events.

The Mistfest in Hernals, a popular outdoor festival, has been called off due to expected storms and high winds.

Similarly, the Stadlauer Kirtag, a significant cultural event in Vienna, has been canceled as wind gusts up to 80 km/h are forecasted.

Other events like the Wiener Kaffeehaus-Flohmarkt and the Römerfest Carnuntum have also been postponed or canceled due to safety concerns.

Despite the adverse weather predictions, some events like the Wachau Marathon and the Böhse Onkelz concert in Wels are still scheduled to proceed, with organizers closely monitoring the situation.

The unpredictable weather has forced many organizers to adapt, prioritizing safety and making last-minute changes to their plans.
