a sign of peace

A central component of the program is the ORF peace light from Bethlehem, which this year sets a sign of Christmas due to the current situation in the Middle East. The distribution of the light, which was kept by the Austrian scouts over the summer, takes place at train stations and many other places on Christmas Eve, as vorarlberg.at . The program is designed to be barrier-free in order to make it easier for people with visual or hearing impairments. For this there will be subtitles, audio description and translations in the Austrian sign language.

In addition, the "ORF Allstars Band" is supported by many artists who present well -known Christmas carols. At 4:52 p.m. the Federal President will wish the spectators a happy festival and the musical Potpourri begins at 5:00 p.m. All donations collected during the show flow into inclusion projects that the club supports light in the dark and thus helps people in Austria.
