A festival of the senses: Martinikirtag in Eisenstadt is enthusiastic about young and old

The Martinikirtag in Eisenstadt, which is traditionally celebrated on the state holiday, moved many visitors to the city. On this festive day, the program started with a service in the impressive cathedral in Eisenstadt. This was led by cathedral priest Achim Bayer, who then carried out a ceremonial wine baptism in front of the town hall.

After the wine baptism, the pedestrian zone turned into a lively farmers' market. Here the visitors had the opportunity to try out a large number of culinary offers and cost the new young wine. The market offered a truly festive atmosphere, which was underlined by the musical performances by the city and fire brigade chapel Eisenstadt, the Kleinhöflein winegrowers' chapel and the St. Georgen farm. These bands ensured a rousing musical experience that encouraged visitors to enjoy the day to the fullest.
