New Year's Market Stalls in Vienna Start on December 27
At 183 different locations in Vienna, lucky pigs, other lucky charms, New Year's items, and novelty items can be purchased according to old New Year's Eve tradition.
In Vienna, "lucky pig sales stalls" are regulated by the Vienna Market Order and are therefore marketplaces. The Market Office is responsible for the allocation of spaces as well as their supervision. In addition to the annual allocation of spaces, the Market Office routinely checks the Trade Regulation, the price marking, and the compliance with the approved stand size.
Lucky Charms for New Year's Eve Available in Vienna from Friday
"The tradition of New Year's or New Year's lucky charms already existed in ancient Rome. Back then, lamps, coins, but also sweets were given away. Nowadays, lucky pigs, chimney sweeps, horseshoes, and fly agarics are particularly popular. With the New Year's marketplaces, this old tradition is supported by the Market Office, I can guarantee: there will definitely be enough lucky charms for the year 2025," emphasizes Market Office Director Andreas Kutheil.
