Staircase festival at elementary school: Kids rock with Swift & Lift on June 12th!
The Corneliusgasse elementary school in Vienna is about to experience an exciting event: on June 12th from 3:30 p.m. the eagerly awaited Staircase Festival will take place under the motto “With Swift & Lift”. Students will take the stage with creative performances and perform their own versions of Taylor Swift's songs. The festival, which has already been awarded the Mariahilfer Neighborhood Award, is colorful and entertaining. How My district reported, 255 people took part in the public voting, with 22 projects being submitted. The first place winner will be rewarded with prize money of 3,000 euros.
The motto “With Swift & Lift” is not only a homage to the pop icon Taylor Swift, but also a connection to the fan gatherings that take place in Corneliusgasse. Swift fans often meet there to share their sadness over concert cancellations and to share their enthusiasm for the artist. Even if this doesn't bring the hoped-for ease for many disappointed fans, like 29-year-old Azura from Rome, who traveled to Vienna, they are still determined to celebrate the positive aspects of their passion. That's what she reports Nachrichten.at of a stately gathering of fans giving each other strength.
A celebration for the community
The Stiegenfest will not only be a place for creative development, but also a space for culinary delicacies and a flea market. District leader Markus Rumelhart highlights the importance of this initiative for the community and recalls that the festival is also a tribute to the success stories of children who emerged amid the influx of refugees in 2015. This event combines education, music and culture and is open to all Grätzl residents to celebrate and enjoy together.
There is also interesting news for Taylor Swift fans big and small. The singer will perform in Hamburg on July 23rd and 24th, 2024 and is expecting numerous enthusiastic fans. These events, at which over 100,000 fans are expected, will also be accompanied by a specially created dress code based on their albums. During her current Eras Tour, Swift not only provides musical highlights, but also supports charitable causes and donates record amounts to food banks during her tour, such as NDR reported.
In a month in which fan passion is high, the Stiegenfest is just around the corner. If the weather doesn't cooperate, the event will be postponed to June 26th. At least the fans are denied the power and magic of their beloved songs and the community in Corneliusgasse!
