A holiday of diversity: state election, Kilbi and marathon in Lustenau
On October 13th, Vorarlberg becomes the scene of three significant events that not only promise combination and a feast mood, but also honors an old tradition. On this day, the state election also takes place with the Lustenauer "Kilbi" and the 3-country marathon. While the state election causes political excitement, the "Kilbi" moves tens of thousands of visitors to its colorful stands and areas, and the marathon offers athletes the opportunity to cross three countries.
The Lustenauer "Kilbi" has a long story; It has been celebrated for over 200 years and is therefore the largest folk festival in the region. Last year, around 20,000 people gathered in the blue place to enjoy the festive atmosphere and the numerous offers. There is a lot to experience from rides to culinary delights, such as the famous "Käsdönnala" to the traditional "Kilbi-Songgl". 160 market stalls are again planned this year, which makes the "Kilbi" an attractive goal for locals and guests. Admission to the event and the journey by public transport are free.
marathon by three countries
The 3-country marathon is almost as popular, which will once again break records. According to the organizational manager Robert Küng, 12,000 runners have already registered. This number is 35 percent higher than in the previous year, which indicates a growing interest in this sporting event. The marathon starts on the picturesque island of Lindau on Lake Constance and then winds over a distance of 42 kilometers through the beautiful landscape of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.For those who prefer sporting activities at the more comfortable pace, there are also shorter distances such as the quarter marathon with about 11 kilometers. The different start times reflect the lively participation: the marathon begins at 9.45 a.m., while the other distances start at 10.30 a.m. This Sunday you can give up both the political vote and celebrate physical fitness.
a Sunday of superlative
The simultaneous implementation of these events ensures that visitors can enjoy the pleasure and the variety of Vorarlberg. Although the simultaneous state election and the folk festival have been collapsing in the past, this combination is always perceived as unique. The atmosphere promises to celebrate both the election winners and to celebrate the joy of tradition and community. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the festivity on this special day while they are voting at the same time.
