MARKTBAUM FEST

What's it about?

The Marktbaum Fest in Rohrau is a traditional village festival that brings together the community in the Lower Austrian municipality in the Bruck an der Leitha district. Rohrau is known far beyond the region as the birthplace of the composer Joseph Haydn, whose birth house is still preserved today. The Marktbaum (market tree) is an old Austrian traditional symbol, a festively decorated tree that stands for trade, community, and local identity, and is erected at many festivals. The festival combines music, culinary delights, and social gathering, inviting families, locals, and curious visitors alike. A trip to Rohrau is worthwhile not only for the festive atmosphere but also for the warm hospitality of the people in this tranquil Marchfeld town.
