In the Leopoldi Festival Hall - the Babenberger Hall - live music and culinary delights will be offered over the four days. Announced events include the festive procession with wine tapping on November 15 at 3:15 PM with a concert by the city band and the first-time competition "The Strongest Leopold - The Strongest Agnes" on November 16 at 12:00 PM, organized by the Klosterneuburg Strength Sports Club.

For Leopoldi: Traditional "Barrel Sliding" in the Binderstadl

The celebrations at the abbey begin already on the coming Sunday (November 9) with the men's pilgrimage. The pontifical mass on November 15 at 10:00 AM will be celebrated by Korbinian Birnbacher, Archabbot of St. Peter in Salzburg. The following day, the altar server pilgrimage takes place. The skull relic of St. Leopold, who founded the abbey, sewn into a replica of the Archduke's hat, is only visible during the celebrations from November 13 to 16 daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in front of the Verdun Altar.

The traditional barrel sliding over the five-meter-long and four-meter-high "Thousand Bucket Barrel" takes place again in the Binderstadl of the abbey. The donations - three euros for adults, two euros for children - benefit the association "A Home for Street Children." On November 18, the dish market takes place on the Town Hall Square, which has had market rights since 1453 and forms the traditional conclusion of the Leopoldi celebrations.
