Vienna Spring Festival 2025 - When the City Awakens With Music and Blossoms
Destinations
As chestnut trees along the Ringstrasse burst into their first lime-green leaves, Vienna shakes off winter with the Frühlingsfest (Spring Festival), a month-long celebration of rebirth and artistic energy from mid-March through April 2025. This is when the Viennese trade their wool coats for light jackets and the city's air fills with the scent of narcissus and the sound of open-air concerts.
A Symphony of Seasonal Firsts
This year's festival highlights include:
- "Dawn Chorus" Concert Series - Sunrise performances in the Palm House at Schönbrunn
- Danube Island Light Installation - A 2km interactive art walk along the river
- The First Heuriger Day (March 23) - When wine taverns in Grinzing serve this year's fresh white wines
- New for 2025 - Floating stage on the Alte Donau featuring Viennese electronic-classical fusion
