Founder’s Fest is a full day of entrepreneurial spirit, day drinking, and networking on September 1st. Created by Vienna in Touch, INTOUCH Sound, Vienna Youth Contemporary and House of Work, it will be a safe space for meeting experts from various industries, asking your questions in a chilled atmosphere, and learning from unique experiences in interactive workshops on sustainable business, social media marketing, business planning, and more.

Calle Libre Festival is a gem of urban art. From August 31st until September 7th, you’ll be able to spot and enjoy live contemporary art painting across urban spaces. It’s definitely a unique chance to pay attention to something we mostly pass by — art on the walls of buildings. The second part of the festival will feature walking tours, workshops, artist meet-and-greets, live music, and more.

One more soulful event for our evolving VIT community orginised by Vienna in Touch x The Inner Light x Stadtflucht Bergmühle. It will be a complete immersion in Shakespeare’s famous Midsummer Night’s Dream on September 29th! A very unique event at the Stadtflucht Bergmühle — a beautiful Viennese escape with pure nature only an hour away from the city center. In the picturesque woods you will experience the magical atmosphere of Shakespeare’s universe: creative workshops, tarot sessions, open-air theater, mystical makeover zone, themed food & drinks and much more. After the Shakespeare immersion an already classy light techno party is guaranteed. So dress up in your Summer Night’s Dream outfit and get ready for a mysterious evening that promises to be the most beautiful and photogenic in September.

viennacontemporary art festival running from the 12th until the 15th of September, brings together artistic creations from 22 countries. Taking place at Messe Wien Halle D, it will be a perfect space to experience new contemporary artistic perspectives, meet like-minded people, join special exhibitions featuring emerging talents, participate in panel discussions, and much more.

The third Yoga Junkies Festival will take place on September 14th and 15th in the park of the amazing Hetzendorf Castle. Two days full of mindful practices, different yoga styles to energize your body, workshops on personal development, and various practices to strengthen your inner balance, like sound healing and mantra chanting. And that’s not all! There will also be aerial yoga, a mindful market, ecstatic dance with a DJ, a Taekwondo show, and much more. It’s a huge opportunity to gain experiences in two days that would normally take several weeks or months!
