Cultural Summer Vienna 2025: 500 Free Events in 10 Districts

Art and culture reach every neighborhood – without any entrance fee.

The Vienna Summer of Culture kicks off on June 26 with a festive opening in the Prater: The Vienna Symphony Orchestra opens the festival with a picnic concert on the Kaiserwiese. Until August 10, around 2,000 artists from fields such as cabaret, music, dance, performance, theater, circus, and literature will enliven the cityscape.

Under the motto "Culture is where you are," over 500 free events take place daily – especially from Thursday to Sunday between 6:30 PM and 9 PM. The nine pop-up stages are spread across ten districts, from the city center to the outer districts. New to the program are, among others, Hyblerpark in the 11th district, Wilhelmsdorfer Park in the 12th district, and Großfeldsiedlung in the 21st district.

Diversity in the Neighborhood

In every neighborhood, the audience can expect a varied program: From Viennese songs or jazz to participatory dance, solo theater, live podcasts, and house dance, there is something for all age groups and interests. At selected locations, there are also special offers for families.

The festival sees itself as a cultural local supplier and aims to bring art into everyday life. It focuses on participation and wants to create encounters – without entry barriers.

Don't Miss This

At the opening on June 26 and 27, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra invites you to a concert picnic on the Kaiserwiese in the Prater. Further program highlights and the complete schedule are available online at kultursommer.wien.
