Meet the Makers: Discover enjoyment and diversity in the Siebensternviertel!

On June 12, 2025, the second event of the "Meet the Makers" series with the title "Drinks & Taste" will take place in Vienna. This exciting event invites you to discover and celebrate the variety of local entrepreneurs from 2 to 10 p.m. at the Siebensternplatz in the lively Siebensternviertel. The aim of the series is to offer a platform where local shops and creative initiatives can present their passion. This initiative was launched by the 7th district merchants and receives support from the district head of Neubau and the Vienna Chamber of Commerce.

The Siebensternviertel has made a name for its lively culture, creative shops and unique restaurants in recent years. However, the district currently suffers from the challenges of the subway construction, which led to a decline in visitor numbers. Kurt Wilhelm, chairman of the IG of the merchants on the new building, nevertheless emphasizes that the district remains attractive despite the construction work. District head Markus Reiter emphasizes the central role of the entrepreneurs who contribute to the special charm and identity of the new building.

Support for local entrepreneurs

To set new impulses and promote cohesion in the 7th district, some shops offer special promotions on the day of the event. The project also receives financial support for the U-Bahn construction site marketing of the Vienna Chamber of Commerce. These measures are crucial to create synergies between the shops and to enable residents and visitors an eventful discovery tour through the district.

Another Highlight of the event is the participation of Veloconcerts. This open-air celebration will take place on the bike days at Siebensternplatz and celebrates music, dance and creativity. A lively atmosphere is created with a program that includes live DJs, jazz bands, dance workshops as well as art and design elements. More than 20 local highlights await visitors to celebrate, discover and dance together.

Invitation to participate

The entry to the "Drinks & Taste" event on June 12th is free of charge and open to all interested visitors. This event, which is part of the larger "Meet the Makers" series, promises to become a festival for the senses and is intended to invite visitors to experience the cultural diversity of the Siegelsviertel up close.
