The stalls, booths and rides are ready. The construction work for the big Rupert festival around Salzburg Cathedral is on the home straight. The weather for the kick-off next Friday is also perfect.

Church bells, gun salutes, beer tapping - this is how the Rupertikirtag traditionally begins next Friday. For five days, the area around Salzburg Cathedral will be dominated by fairground activities, customs, barbecued chicken and beer. Over 120 food and craft stalls as well as stalls and fairground rides will be set up in the old town squares this year.

Hanswurst celebrates its 25th anniversary
While the heavy rain was a big question mark in the run-up to the event, showmen, restaurateurs and visitors will probably get off lightly. Johanna Racz is a veteran at the age of 80. The senior showman from Mattsee runs several attractions with her family, such as the legendary chain carousel. She still stands in the shooting gallery herself. "I don't want to complain about anything. We're doing well and the weather is fine again," says Racz. The fit senior citizen is thinking of all those who suffered serious damage in the recent storms.

Traditionally, thousands of Salzburgers celebrate Rupertikirtag every year. But hardly anyone is as closely associated with the festival as Johannes Rupert Franz, the traditional Hanswurst actor. After a health break last year, Franz is celebrating his 25th anniversary as a secret Kirtag landmark this year.
