This is how Austria celebrates National Day today
In 1965, the government and parliament discussed what the national holiday should commemorate in future. They finally decided on perpetual neutrality. This and the declaration of neutrality are commemorated in Austria today. krone.at reveals how and where the celebrations will take place in the live ticker.
The "National Holiday" has only existed since 1965. From 1955 to 1964, October 26 was called "Flag Day". The State Treaty, which restored Austria's sovereignty, was signed on May 15, 1955.
