Everything you need to do this weekend in Vienna

Integrationshaus is having an event where you can eat (and drink) for a good cause. This outing will benefit more than just your belly. It will help refugees and those in need of help as they get on their feet in Vienna.

Ou là là, the maybe sweetest electronic music event this city has to offer is presenting you with a DJ we can only call Anna Reusch. We can only call her that because that’s her name! Tell your Mom you’re going to a book reading and meet your friends out at this party that will have you dancing until early morn’.

The annual day of football, sunshine (hopefully) and good vibes of the Ute Bock Cup is back for another year. If you haven’t been before, the day event involves a football match, live music and a party. And the vibe is really international. It not only raises money for the Ute Bock organisation (which helps unhoused people and refugees in Austria), but it also promotes the message of: Fight Fortress Europe!

Electronic music in the open air, beer in hand and your sick dance moves… A recipe for success!! Get out to the Donauinsel and watch the sun set as you get that extra dose of serotonin you were hoping for this weekend.

Yes you’ve read that right. The wine store, WEIN & Co, is hosting an event at Volksgarten. And as you‘ve probably guessed, there will be a lot of quality wine there. Long drinks will be there too, by the way. And music. Aaand all drinks are included in your ticket price. So yeah, should be a solid party. Or should we say liquid party…?

Last year you didn’t try a single new thing and where did that get you, huh?? It’s time to make a change. This year you have to do a new thing every day! Ok, that’s overkill, we admit. How about you just start with the MQ summer season opening this weekend?

As the title of this event suggests, this will be a vintage bicycle market. As the title already made a suggestion it is now our turn to make a suggestion. And we suggest that you get your spandex bike shorts wearing booty out to this event and find yourself that addition to your bicycle collection that has been keeping you up at night with cyclical desire.

The Loft will be throwing it back this Saturday to a time before Corona even existed. In fact to a time before Spotify existed! Talk about a time warp! Get your best oversized jeans and crop tops ready!

Do you have 2 left feet? We feel you on this. But can you eat? We also feel you on this. Mi Barrio is hosting a Bachata brunch this weekend so come for the music, stay for the food. Or the other way around!

Every Saturday, the iconic U4 club will serve you with the finest house, RnB, hip-hop, retro and chart music. Not just on one but on two floors!  So what are you waiting for!?

If your friends ask you what you want to do this weekend and your answer is ‘something sweaty’ this run might be for you. Get your group to the meeting point and…you guessed it…run together!!

Peel the kids away from the tablet and go to this family Sunday event. It’ll be something new with a programme everyone in the family can enjoy. All we can say is: There’s gonna be a Bastelstation (crafts table). And, boy, do we love a Bastelstation.

Get out to Beaver Brewing Company this weekend where you can always get great burgers and beer but THIS time you’ll also get a heavy dose of laughter. Jack Holmes will be doing some stand-up comedy to make you laugh so hard ketchup comes out your nose. Can this actually happen? We don’t know. But why not go and find out.

Do you love Falco with a passion so strong you can’t let other people know or else they might stop calling you? It’s ok. We get it. And, pssst, we have a secret tip for you: There’s a Falco convention this weekend!!! You’re welcome. (Don’t worry, we won’t mention it to anyone else.)

Get out to an event that will have your heart racing and your eyes wide. It’s the poetry slam letting loose in different Uni auditoriums all around the city.

Don’t let the weekend drag at this drag-a-licious buffet with live performances

Queens Brunch at Villa Vida Cafe

When: every Saturday & Sunday from 10am & 1pm
Where: Villa Vida
Entry: 49€, buy a ticket

While this event doesn’t feature a valet massaging your jaw to aid the mastication of your royal Christmas dinner (alas), the Queen’s Brunch at the Villi Vida is undoubtedly a heap of fun. The international Drag Brunch Show phenomenon is back at Villa Vida Cafe, featuring fierce lip-sync and live singing performances from Vienna’s best local and international Drag Queens. There’s also a drag-a-licious, all-you-can-eat buffet with vegan options available, and all-you-can-drink ‘bottomless’ mimosas!

Recommended if you like: finding ways to make sure the weekend doesn’t drag, Drag Queens, brunch with added entertainment, never-ending buffets, cabaret, being queer, dressing up in outlandish outfits, LGBTQ+ events, lip-sync

If you haven’t done anything culture-y in a while this would be our top pick for you! Lisa Batiashvili will be violin-ing on the violin with the Wiener Harmoniker and you’re gonna wanna be there for it. You can secretly pretend to conduct the orchestra in your mind. We won’t tell…

Glitz will make you feel at home. The goal is to bring the entire city together on three floors beneath the Vienna State Opera once a month. A fulminant wonderful universe full of artists, attractions and escalations is waiting for you to listen, feel and enter.

Be willing to fully express who you are, surround yourself with admirable, kind and optimistic individuals. Dance with the crowd like there’s no tomorrow. The location is virtually irresistible, so you should go see for yourself.

Has that clarinet been sitting at the back of your closet just waiting to be played for a while now? Maybe this is the time! Go out to see a live combo and then join in yourself for a live jam session! Your clarinet will thank you.

Get out your favourite reading glasses because this event is a HUGE book fair filled with books from independent publishers. You could find a gem that nobody has ever heard of!!! You could be the one to introduce it to your book club. You! Imagine!!!

It’s getting bass heavy at Flex this Saturday! Well, it sorta always does, but whatever. There’ll be a great lineup of local DJs that all have one goal in common: to make you jump up and down and party hard as f***!!

Do you ever make up an alter ego and then go out on the town telling people your made-up name all weekend? No? Just us? mmmk. In that case, allow us to divert your attention to this 90s party at the Donauinsel this weekend. Be there or be square!
