PROSI Exotic Festival: Celebrate 25 years of cultural diversity in Vienna!

A festival of diversity is just around the corner: The PROSI Exotic Festival will celebrate its 25th anniversary on June 13th and 14th, 2025. On the square in Kandlgasse in the 7th district, between Neubaugurtel and Wimbergergasse, friends of intercultural encounters gather to experience a colorful program full of culinary and artistic highlights. Entry to this festival is free, so all Viennese and tourists are cordially invited to be transported to the colors and flavors of the world. As vienna.at reports, around 10,000 visitors are expected to enjoy the offerings.

Since its founding in 2000, the festival has established itself as one of the first events of its kind in Austria and is now considered an intercultural street festival that not only offers culinary specialties, but also a diverse stage program with music, dance and acrobatics. Artists from different countries bring their talents and create a unique festival that celebrates the coexistence of different cultures.

A feast for all senses

At the market, visitors can discover a wide range of international delicacies, including spicy Indian curries, delicious Ethiopian injeras and tempting Peruvian street food. In addition, over 10,000 products from all over the world are offered. The offer is rounded off by stalls with handicrafts, fashion and cosmetics, including attractive henna painting and Raszta braids. The multicultural staff and social projects come from countries such as India, Peru, Ghana and Nepal and ensure that cultural diversity is at the forefront.

The wealth of cultural experiences offered by festivals like the PROSI Exotic Festival is an important part of our society. As the Multicultural Forum emphasizes, culture contributes to social cohesion and is a dynamic process that is influenced by the people in the respective cultural area. By opening up to cultural diversity, you not only broaden your own horizons, but also promote empathy for other cultures.

Insight into cultural diversity

The festival's other program items will include courses and offers that provide insights into different cultures. In addition to dance and cooking workshops, you can also expect readings and film screenings that promote mutual understanding and encourage active participation in public discourse. The organizers announce the detailed program content and further information via their official channels and have already launched their own event on Facebook to increase anticipation: Link to the event.

Preparations are already in full swing and the PROSI Exotic Festival is all about diversity and togetherness. We can't wait to see how the 25th anniversary street festival will present itself and what surprises await visitors!
