VIP-Einladung, klingende Kultur und kulinarischer Genuss

The press conference on 28 June 2023 for the 17th Open Air Festival in the Donaupark became an outstanding cultural event with the support and sponsorship of the Donauturm and Donaubräu.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to Charlotte Ludwig and Herbert Sobotka for allowing us to be part of these special events as a sponsor. With a variety of artists and a diverse program, the festival offered visitors an unforgettable experience.

On this special occasion, we had the opportunity to meet many talented artists and warmly welcome some who were already familiar to us. Charlotte Ludwig, Herbert Sobotka and even the charming Peter Rapp charmed us with their warm welcome.

Hans Ecker and his duo provided a musical specialty that carried us away. The performances of the various artists were, as always, unique and impressive.
