Perchtenlauf in Leibnitz: A festival for the whole family!

An exciting event is imminent: On November 17, 2024, the 28th Perchtenlauf will take place in the picturesque city of Leibnitz. This traditional festival is organized by Tina Muchitsch and the leisure and youth club Leibnitz. The Perchtenlauf has developed into a highlight of the autumn events over the years and will attract both locals and visitors.

As early as 2 p.m., the festival begins with a mask presentation on the parish square in front of the parish church. This one -hour event is designed to take the shyness of the often scary -looking masks. The families have the opportunity to capture the artistically designed masks in photos before the exciting part of the program begins.

the children's perch run and the big spectacle

Another highlight of the afternoon is the children's perch run, which starts at 3:30 p.m. All children up to 12 years are invited to participate with their own masks and costumes. The meeting point at the former music school on Jännerstrasse is at 3 p.m. The small participants are accompanied by several Nikolos, which distribute sweets on the route, which will also give children joy.

The big perch run then begins at 5 p.m. in the center of Leibnitz. Here around 30 customs associations from four federal states will take part in the event and around 400 Perchten will take part in this spectacle. The running route leads from the cultural center via Bahnhofstrasse, the main square and the Grazer and Quergasse back to the cultural center. In addition to the Perchten, Engerl, Witches and Fire Spuckers will also inspire the audience with their performances.

This year the event shines particularly through the large number of participants and the extensive program, which was lovingly put together by organizers and municipality. "We are proud that our child's perch run can take place again and that we can continue the tradition in this festive framework," says Tina Muchitsch.

A big thank you goes to Energie Steiermark, Partl Bau GmbH and Hitthaller for your financial support. The municipality of Leibnitz will also play a major role in the implementation of the event.
