Ice Fest at Schwarzenbergplatz: Ten Days of Family Program Around the Hochstrahlbrunnen

The culinary offerings are complemented by various food trucks directly on the square. Visitors can choose between sweet and savory dishes without having to leave the event grounds.

The Strizzis & Schlawiener Streetbar also provides refreshing drinks. It is present at the fest with a "Vienna-based" range of non-alcoholic drinks, spritzers, and other summer classics.

Activities for Children

For children and families, a trampoline, a carousel, and a large inflatable slide are available on site. This transforms the square into a playground that is also suitable for an afternoon outing with younger children.

On weekdays, from Monday to Thursday, guests can enjoy the offerings from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM, while on weekends it opens from 11:00 AM. The long opening hours give working people and families flexibility in planning.

Opening Hours and Duration

The large summer zone runs until Sunday, July 5. The fest thus ends in time before the peak of the summer holidays and offers an opportunity to enjoy the time before that in the city.

Organizers and partners are jointly promoting the use of Schwarzenbergplatz as a central meeting point in the coming days. The combination of ice-cream parlors, street food, drinks, and children's program is intended to make the square an easily accessible summer spot.

Admission is free, meaning the fest is expressly open to all residents of Vienna. The event thus joins a series of free summer formats that can be visited in the city without registration or advance purchase.
