About this event
Now in its seventh year, the city-run Kultursommer scatters around 500 acts across neighbourhood parks rather than concentrating them downtown. Theatre, dance, performance, cabaret, literature, contemporary circus and music all feature, with evening shows Thursday through Sunday and dedicated children's programming on selected mornings. Extras include garden concerts at senior residences, two choral evenings and a Sunday jazz brunch on Rathausplatz.
Why we picked it
The largest free cultural programme in Vienna this summer, deliberately spread into residential districts, so there is almost always something on nearby.
