Ticket sales for the 9th annual Pink Lake International LGBT Festival, which will again be held on Lake Wörthersee in Austria, have set a new record. After only three weeks, half of the available combo tickets for the festival have been sold. The festival runs from Aug. 25-28.
“We are very proud that the festival enjoys such a strong reputation with the LGBT Community, and that each year more and more guests come to visit us at beautiful Lake Woerthersee,” exclaims Roland Sint, managing director of Woerthersee Tourismus GmbH.
Guests can once again look forward to awesome Alpine outfits and Austrian pop music party at the Almdudler Costume Party, the traditional opening event of the four-day festival in Southern Austria, on August 25th. After a break last year, the multi-talent Franky Leitner will once again provide a rowdy atmosphere. Of course, the hilarious drag queens Melli and Mataina are also back to conduct the program, and the Schuhplattler group Sattendorf is already studying new choreography to entertain guests.
Under the slogan “Just Dance!”, clubbing will take place for the first time this year on Friday, August 26th in the Fabrik – an abandoned factory building in the nearby town of Techelsberg that’s been run as a discotheque for several years, and owes its unique and incomparable flair to the former machine parts, blast furnaces, and gear wheels integrated into its interior. With two DJs and hot go-go dancers, guests can party the night away on two floors in this extravagant location. A free shuttle from Velden to Techelsberg will be available for all Pink Lake guests.
For the first time, three ships from Lake Woerthersee’s fleet will set sail for the Boat Cruise Party this year on Saturday, August 27th. “For safety reasons, space on the ships has always had heavily regulated attendance levels. This year, we finally managed a cooperation with the Lake Woerthersee Shipping Company to meet the technical requirements necessary to fulfill our guests’ desires for a third ship,” says Sint.
The daily Pink Lake Beach Club will take place for the third time in the SOL Beachclub at Hotel Park’s, which can be reached from the center of Velden via a free boat shuttle. Relaxed DJ sounds, fun beach games, delicious food and cool drinks in the hot summer sun also guarantee a great festival experience each day!
