The spring festival started in the early evening—without masks and distancing, but with music, a great atmosphere, sunshine, and free food. Deciding to postpone the opening festival back in February was hard. But as Dominik said, that made it all the nicer to now celebrate the new Weidfeld Center just like before the pandemic: “This spring festival is our way of saying thank you to all our customers. You have turned Weidfeld into a gathering place since the very moment it opened, making St. Dionysen even more livable.”

Andie Gabauer's concert showed how well the STZ Weidfeld has already established itself as a permanent fixture in the community of St. Dionysen: The seats at all the tables were full and the dance floor was in heavy demand, not least by Dr. Jagersberger and us Avorisians.

Our party the following day was also well attended. Maguel the Magician delighted the younger guests at noon. After that, there was face painting and a whole lot of jumping in the bouncy castle, while Walter Stöger and his vocal partner provided musical accompaniment for the sold-out brunch at Stadtcafé Traun. At 5 p.m., the long-awaited lottery raffle took place, with the main prize of an electric scooter and tons of other goodies from the center. And by the time evening rolled around it was rock 'n' roll o’clock again. RockyStory kicked off the night with rock classics from the last 40 years, before Aufdraht! brought the evening and the festival to a close with Austropop hits. It was a fantastic time!
