Mayor Stefan Schmuckenschlager is pleased that Klosterneuburg can celebrate the State Holiday this year: „This year's festival, in its scaled-down form, is primarily for children and families. This allows us to celebrate our patron saint in a cozy atmosphere.“
„The feast day of Saint Leopold is a significant part of our regional identity. Therefore, I am glad that this festival, which has become a tradition, can take place in Klosterneuburg, albeit in a smaller form.“, so Prelate Maximilian Fürnsinn, Administrator of the Klosterneuburg Abbey.
City Councilor for Tourism Christoph Kaufmann, MAS, adds: „Leopoldi is one of the last major open-air festivals of the year, and we want to provide our guests from all over Lower Austria with an enjoyable and, above all, safe stay in Klosterneuburg.“
