How Austria went out in 2026: the events year in review in data

In 2026, Austria had

113,829

chances to go out.

The pulse of a year

Every dot is a place where something was on that day. Scroll, and the year plays out.

On average there were 312 events a day, spread across 2,018 places. The busiest day was 17 October 2026, with 884 events.

When Austria goes out

A year has 365 evenings, but they are not all alike. Some weeks explode, and some hours belong to very particular things.

Events per day, 2026

Each square is a day. The brighter, the busier.

Weekday and hour

Start times of every event with a known time, by weekday and hour.

Saturday is the night out: more than three times as many events as on Monday. Across the week, most things start at 7 pm.

Music belongs to the evening. Most concerts start at 8 pm, only one in eleven before noon.

Markets are a Saturday morning: three in four open before noon, one in three on a Saturday.

Nightlife is almost only the weekend. Four in five parties are on a Friday or Saturday, and nearly half start at 9 pm or later.

Now it's your turn: pick another category above the chart, from theatre to sport, and see when Austria makes time for it.

About the data

Every number comes from the wasmachen.at system: 113,829 events starting between 1 January 2026 and 31 December 2026, as of 4 November 2026.
Events are added, moved and cancelled all the time, so these numbers are a snapshot and not 100% accurate in every detail.
Each event counts once, on its start date. Cancelled events and events not yet approved are left out.
How many events we know about differs by region, so we show patterns rather than rankings between states.
Only aggregated numbers are published, never data about individual people.
