Augustini-Festtage in Fürstenfeld
FürstenfeldBetween August 14 and 31, the spa town of Fürstenfeld invites you to a diverse program of art, culture, music, and lived tradition as part of the Augustini Festival Days in 2025.
The Augustini Festival Days focus on encounters: with art, culture, sound, and culinary delights – the highlight this year is the grand street festival on Saturday, August 30.
The roots of the Augustini Festival Days date back to the 14th century: back then, pilgrims traveled in honor of Saint Augustine to Fürstenfeld, where a lively onion market with fairground flair took place around the Augustinian monastery church. Even today, the festival carries this original spirit within – as a vibrant connection of art and culture, the sacred and the secular, contemplative devotion, and cheerful entertainment.
The festival days will be opened on Thursday, August 14 at 7:00 PM with the exhibition "Encounters" by the renowned Artist Circle South in the Altes Rathaus Gallery. The works – including pieces by founding member Prof. Josef Lehner – showcase a wide range of artistic expressions. The exhibition runs until August 31, open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10 AM to 12 PM and 5 PM to 7 PM, as well as on Sundays and holidays from 4 PM to 7 PM.
The musical series kicks off on Friday, August 22 at 7:30 PM with the open air concert of Chris Steger, supported by Julian Grabmayer. On Saturday, August 23, Wolfgang Ambros & Die No.1 vom Wienerwald follow as another
highlight – with trottoirs and Caro Fux in the supporting program starting at 7:00 PM. Both concerts take place at Augustinerplatz, and tickets are available at oeticket and in the guest information Fürstenfeld.
Classical sounds await visitors on Monday, August 25 at a concert by Magic Brass Vienna in the Augustiner Church. The concert begins at 7:30 PM, and tickets are available at the city library and guest information.
The multi-award-winning actor and author August Schmölzer will read from his book "Heimat" on Tuesday, August 26 at Pfeilburghof.
On Wednesday, August 27, Josef Rauscher will guide a tour through the Augustiner Church and tell stories "of plague boils and fire insurance".
The Augustini Kirtag will take place on Thursday, August 28 at the main square. In the evening, an ecumenical peace march will follow from Augustinerplatz to the main square with subsequent prayers.
On Augustini Friday, August 29, the spa capital will be entirely focused on a special musical finale: After an impressive 32 years, the legendary band Skylight says goodbye to their audience with a grand farewell concert full of energy and emotions under the motto "The Last Dance." The band has musically accompanied more than 1,600 events. As part of the Augustini Festival Days, the six musicians will play their final live notes together on the big stage, supported by the Grazer U-Bahn Orchestra.
