The Austrian town of Gmunden is holding its Altstadtfest on Saturday, 12 September 2026, from 17:00 to 24:00, marking the first edition since 2009. The free‑entry event will occupy the market square, Rinnholzplatz and Kirchengasse with live music, a children’s programme and a range of food and drink stalls.
