The Filipino community in Vienna is set to host its much-anticipated annual Barrio Fiesta on July 19, 2025, at the ATV Liesing Sportplatz, located at Franz Heidergasse 14/Pellmanngasse 2, 1230 Vienna. Festivities will kick off with a Thanksgiving Mass at 10:00 AM, followed by a full day of cultural celebration, music, food, and community spirit.
Organized by the Council of Filipino Associations in Austria, in cooperation with the Philippine Embassy, Vienna, this year’s event is expected to attract hundreds of participants from Vienna and its surrounding regions. The council, under the leadership of Chairman Elmer Blanco, has been working closely with local groups to ensure a prosperous and inclusive celebration.
In preparation for the main event, the council will hold a pre-Fiesta meeting and booth distribution on June 22, 2025, at the Pfarrsaal of the Parish of Leopoldau, located at Leopoldauer Platz 12, 1210 Wien. The meeting aims to finalize logistics, assign booths to participating groups, and coordinate performances and food vendors.
The Barrio Fiesta has long been a cornerstone of the Filipino-Austrian calendar, offering a platform for Filipinos in Austria to celebrate their heritage, strengthen community ties, and share their culture with others.
For more information and event details, interested parties are encouraged to contact Chairman Elmer Blanco directly.
