"The Danube Island Festival has been a place of togetherness, joy, and respect for over 40 years. But this year it will be even more: It will be a place of shared strength and solidarity with Graz. The sea of lights is meant to show how important it is to stand up for each other. Let us set a strong and unifying sign of solidarity together – hand in hand, heart to heart," said Jörg Neumayer, State Party Secretary of the SPÖ Vienna.
