Welcome to the Grafenegg Festival 2027
The exact date for 2027 has not been announced yet.

The festival brings together world class orchestras and today's leading artists year after year.

Program
The exact date and program for 2027 have not been announced yet. Traditionally, the festival opens with a major choral and orchestral work, followed by several weeks featuring rotating international orchestras on the Wolkenturm stage. The evening programme is complemented by afternoon concerts and solo recitals. Ahead of the festival itself, the "Summertime" series brings Saturday evening concerts.
Tickets
Tickets are available through the official Grafenegg website, through oeticket and in part through Raiffeisenbank branches in Lower Austria and Vienna. Prices vary widely by concert and seating category: in previous years, simple lawn tickets or afternoon concerts started at around 15 euros, while top categories for major orchestral concerts could reach up to 180 euros. Visitors under 26 usually receive a 50 percent discount on ticket prices.
Visitor Tips
- Book popular concerts early, as these categories sell out quickly.
- Bring a picnic blanket for the lawn seating; a picnic in the park is part of the experience at many concerts.
- Pack warm clothing for the evening, as concerts take place outdoors.
- Traveling by train to Krems or Hadersdorf and then by shuttle bus is recommended, as parking is limited.
- Allow enough time before the concert for a walk through the historic castle gardens.
