Our last “cultural” event for our program was to attend the Danube Island Festival which is held yearly in Vienna and is free to the public. A quick ride on the U-Bahn put us only steps from the festival entrance. We were welcomed by a beat-boxer accompanied by another guy playing the Didgeridoo. After watching his “act,” we set out in search of music and other activities. The path was crowded with attendees and vendors which made for a slow pace. We stumbled upon a crowd cheering and music blaring loudly so we made our way to the front to see what was going on and found a BMX exhibition in progress. We watched as several of the riders displayed their awesome skills then decided to continue on. After walking for a while we came to the end of the path where a huge crowd was gathered with a really awesome DJ setup on the middle of the stage. He kept the crowd entertained for several hours and we spent the rest of our time there enjoying the music. To end the night we made a pit stop on the way to the entrance so a couple of the guys could join in on a Turkish line dance. Great night in Vienna!
