Special Events

There are festivals and product-tasting events on the Perry Road in the Mostviertel in Lower Austria year round.

The two highpoints of the year are Spring Perry Festival when the pear trees are in full bloom and Autumn Perry Festival when the perry is maturing in tanks.

Mostfrühling (Spring Perry Festival)

In late April, thousands of blooming fruit trees transform the countryside along the Moststraße into a sea of fragrant white blossoms. The locals celebrate this wonderful sight with a colorful series of celebrations from April through June. They range from product-tasting events to musical festivals, from blossom hikes to vintage car rallies.

Mostfrühling is the biggest event, set every year for the last Sunday in April. Mostheurige (Perry Road taverns), Moststraße-Wirte (Perry Road Innkeepers), Mostbarone (Perry Barons), excursion destinations and local towns and villages invite visitors to come to perry tasting events on this day, to gather for enjoyable music, guided hikes and rallies. Some farmers along the Moststraße sell their own wares directly at the farm.
