The “Aufsteirern” festival invites you
Every year in September, the city center of Graz is transformed into a colorful stage for Styrian tradition. At the "Aufsteirern" festival, locals and guests come together to celebrate customs, music and culinary delights in the heart of the historic old town. The two-day festival attracts visitors with traditional costumes, dances and delicacies and offers a varied program for the whole family.
Over the years, the "Aufsteirern" festival in Graz has developed into one of the largest folk festivals in Austria. Visitors can experience Styrian tradition in all its facets. From traditional costumes to time-honored dances and traditional crafts - the festival is a true tribute to the culture of Styria. Customs come to life on the streets and squares of Graz city center, and many a person rediscovers their love for Styrian culture here.
For me, the Aufsteirern is an absolute highlight in the Styrian annual calendar. It is a huge folk festival in the middle of our provincial capital. But it is so much more than that: "Aufsteirern" is THE Styrian festival.
