Aufsteirern Festival

Aufsteirern is the name of a festival that celebrates Styria – the sunny south-eastern part of Austria. The Styrian people like to share their pride and joy about their way of life and their folklore which expresses itself vividly in dialect, music, dance and design. Since 18 years the entire city centre of Graz turns into one big stage for three days in September (September 13 - September 15, 2019). Every year about 110.000 visitors amble through the streets of Graz and enjoy the Styrian hospitality!
