"The district motto 'Together in Mariahilf' is lived here," says the district chairman of Vienna-Mariahilf Markus Rumelhart.

The event increases the community's presence and helps to raise social awareness of the problems many people face. Rumelhart emphasizes: "Vienna is a city of openness and mutual respect, where everyone can freely choose their life and love models" and adds: "Homo- and transphobia have no place with us!"

The Line-up (as of 23.4.2025 - subject to change):

"We need robber daughters - Ronjas of this time" - this sentence from the Viennese alternative rock/pop band QUERFUNK stands as a leitmotif. The band offers far more than catchy, critical pop. With their energetic performance, impressive musicians, and an authentic frontwoman, they create unique moments and atmospheres.
