The Schottenfest is happening this week! Yippee! what the hell is the Schottenfest? Well, it’s a grassroots festival celebrating culture and music that the Scots, Irish and English have given birth to (and are still giving birth to). In it’s third year, while this festival has shrunk a little this year, there are some great acts on their stages worth checking out. This festival showcases the traditions and historic Gaelic links between Vienna, Ireland & Scotland in various locations around Vienna. Live music, readings, and talks will be happening over the 3 day festival. Check out their event guide for details on the price and program.

Recommended if you like: festivals that keep you out for three days in a row, the pleasing sounds of bagpipes, Scottish highland dancing, the Loch Ness monster, whisky, men in tartan, the Irish accent, rugged Scottish men…or women, Guinness, trying out your Sean Connery accent, singer-songwriters, making love slow and tenderly
