These are the Highlights at the Art Advent 2025 in Front of the Vienna Karlskirche

When the Art Advent begins on 21.11. at Vienna's Karlsplatz, Austria's most sustainable and ecological art and craft market opens its doors and once again presents the finest organic cuisine and artisan work. For 33 days, the Art Advent offers the opportunity to purchase artisan products, enjoy the cuisine with family and friends, and be entertained by excellent live music, encounters with the fantastic figures of Soluna Rising and Moving Acts, and – for the first time this year – a light show.

Anniversary at Art Advent 2025

This year, the Art Advent celebrates a special anniversary: For exactly a decade, the entire gastronomy has been organically certified! Together with the association Bio Austria, all gastronomic products were converted to organic in 2015.

Observe Artisan Work in Progress

The artisans of divina art place great value on creativity, paired with craftsmanship. The products are created through ideas and designs and are made fairly – often using or recycling regional resources. Best examples are the carousel of found objects, furniture and decorative items made from old skateboards by Miguel Castillo, or Marco Nussbaumer's bags made from old parachutes. In the workshop, interested parties can watch the creation of artisan pieces live.

Luminous Highlights at Vienna's Art Advent

The 32nd edition of the Art Advent also enchants with an appealing mix of romantic atmosphere (all with energy-saving LEDs) in front of the impressive backdrop of the Karlskirche, imaginative stilt theater by the performance groups Soluna Rising and Moving Acts, and – new this year – a magical light show with dance and illusion by Resalya & Saphira.

From Vienna to Brazil: This Music Awaits Visitors at Vienna's Karlsplatz

Additionally, visitors can expect a wide musical spectrum with Viennese songs and Austropop
from Stubenfliege, Afro-Brazilian rhythms from VentoSul unplugged, the Masala Brass Collective,
which heats up with music from rock to reggae to Balkan brass, the Rosetti Sisters, who spread funky
joy of life, and many more. And of course, The Untouchables must not be missing this year either,
they are opening the Art Advent for the 12th time.

Diverse Program for the Whole Family

In the Star Workshop, even the little ones can get active: Every day from 2:30 PM to 7 PM, and on weekends from 12 PM to 7 PM, there is the opportunity to do crafts under supervision.

On Thu 27.11, Fri 28.11, Thu 4.12, Fri 5.12, Thu 11.12, Fri 13, Thu 18, Fri 19. BIO Austria offers a workshop all about grains with oat flake crushing, and on Sat 13 and Sun 14.12. the children's program includes designing picture frames with mosaics. For those not keen on crafts, the Tabula Rasa children's theater might be recommended, or the Carousel of Found Objects and the Draisine Express.

And after these "efforts," everyone can comfortably take a seat on the shopping divan:
a liveried "servant" will do the pedaling.
