Blasiusmarkt: A traditional festival despite falling visitor numbers!

Rathausplatz, 3400 Herzogenburg, Österreich - Last Thursday, the annual Blasiusmarkt took place at Rathausplatz in Herzogenburg, an event that once attracted numerous visitors. Despite the tradition and efforts of the standers, who often come from far away, the markets have an alarming decline in visitors. Like Noen.at , the markets, including the Florianimarkt in May and the Martinimarkt in November, were formerly a magnet for customers from the area. The falling number of visitors raises questions about the future of this lively tradition.

The city administration is aware of the challenges that the venues face. In parallel to the Blasiusmarkt, there are important initiatives to ensure security around the town hall. Like Stadt-wien.at , the town hall guard, which is subordinate to the professional fire brigade, ensures fire protection and security in public areas. In addition, the police inspection at the nearby Ballhausplatz is responsible for the safety of the population, the necessary protection during the various events in the area. The organization on site aims to return lost objects through an online found office and to ensure security to support future markets.
