Top-Events in Eastern Styria

In spring, the Apple Route is a delight when the orchards are in full bloom and various festivals are organised around the apple harvest. In summer, open-air events such as the Schlosshofserenade attract visitors. In autumn, people dance at the Winzerfest, taste the freshly pressed grapes and celebrate the grape harvest. The year ends on a contemplative note with a special backdrop in the Vorau open-air museum at the Joglland Advent g'spian.

HIGHLIGHT 2025: Styrian Ball in the Vienna Hofburg - Experience East Styrian hospitality and celebrate the start of the ball season at the Styrian Ball 2025!
