Neulengbach inspires: 20,000 visitors at the Castle Advent 2024!

The Castle Advent in Neulengbach was an impressive event that took place from December 5th to 8th, 2024 and attracted more than 20,000 visitors. The pre-Christmas event in the historic castle ruins thrilled both young and old and the organizers, including Mayor Jürgen Rummel, were unable to anticipate the overwhelming rush. “It's overwhelming,” Rummel said enthusiastically, praising the festive atmosphere and the many attractions the event had to offer.

The castle opened its doors to an Advent market for the first time since 1996, after 28 years of being only open to small groups. Citizens and guests could look forward to an Advent village with regional delicacies as well as an exhibition of handicrafts and Christmas decorations. What was particularly pleasing was the diverse program offered over the four days, including children's readings, concerts and even a petting zoo for the little ones. On Friday there was, among other things, a visit from Santa Claus and musical performances by the “Jazzperados”. The opening of the market was accompanied by a celebratory concert by the Neulengbach Young Ensemble meinkreis.at reported.

Visitor numbers and logistics

The high number of visitors led to a well-organized shuttle service from the park and ride facility to the castle. Alternative parking options were offered in Reichelgasse and in the city center, making access to this unique pre-Christmas experience easier. Castle Advent is a special opportunity for the Neulengbach community to celebrate the festive season and promote community noen.at highlighted.
