I am incredibly proud of this celebration of diversity and strong solidarity, which is taking place in the middle of our livable and lovable Vienna. It’s great how many artists might be brought in front of the curtain. The Danube Island Festival has been with me since my childhood and every year I am enthusiastic regarding the peaceful coexistence and solidarity of the Viennese and everyone who loves Vienna. They are an essential guarantor for the very special island atmosphere and the solidarity among each other, which is very important on the Danube Island and throughout Vienna. I would like to thank everyone involved for their tireless efforts – you are doing a great job and I am already looking forward to the Donauinselfest 2024.”
