European Festival
On Friday, 25th of May, the first edition of the European Festival in Dornbirn attracted many visitors to the market square in Dornbirn where representatives from ten different nations offered delicacies and typical products of their regions. Thereby, every guest was spoiled in both culinary and musical ways. The World Gymnaestrada 2019 joined in as well and was represented with an information booth since the European countries are traditionally amongst the biggest nations to participate in such largest gymnastics festival in the world. The strong frequency of the World Gymnaestrada booth was a clear sign that the population of Vorarlberg is again already very much looking forward welcoming our guests from all over the world in "their" national villages!
