* High Time to say THANK YOU
Even after 30 years, the Festival of Regions has never tired of promoting experimental, innovative art and cultural projects, developing them in the region and providing surprises.
FdR 2023 got off to a brilliant start (in the words of Governor Stelzer) in Horní Dvořiště and ended the following weekend at the KLANGfestival in Gallneukirchen in the truest sense of the word. With its numerous and multi-layered socio-cultural encounter formats, the FdR confirmed its position as the most important and largest arts and culture festival of the independent scene in Upper Austria.
12 venues
150 artists
80 other participants
with a total of 52 projects
13 project collaborations

In addition, more than 100,000 people were reached via partner media, social media platforms and TV/radio.
We would like to THANK YOU for your patience & good co-operation! Kind regards from the entire Festival of Regions team
