For 12 years now, the PINK LAKE FESTIVAL on Lake Wörthersee has been the summer highlight of the LGBTQ scene. From Thursday, 22nd to Sunday, 25th August 2019, the international community and friends will meet for the annual scene event at Lake Wörthersee.
Even though many (regular) guests from the community arrive a few days earlier to relax and enjoy the beautiful region, the festival visitors will have their first “official” event on Thursday, August 22 at Schloss Leonstain in the heart of Pörtschach. The tour starts at ́s with the “Almdudler Pink Almrausch Wies´n already at 6 p.m. (with free admission for all) in the castle garden. Wies ́n atmosphere with Dirnd ́l & Lederhosen as dress code, rustic music, beer tapping and hearty barbecue offer a perfect basis for an atmospheric party night.
FOUR DAYS AT THE WÖRTHERSEE
At 21.00 the gates to the castle courtyard will open. Here ́s goes on with a real firework on the live stage: directly under the 1.000-year-old lime tree, the “Stockhiatla” fire their mood fireworks of the best quality again. In the venerable and well-tempered walls of the almost 700-year-old castle, ́s is then also hot: DJ James Munich and “the one and only” Tamara Mascare from Vienna provide the atmosphere at the turntables until the early hours of the morning. The “Pink Lake Clubnight” on Friday 23 August at 9 p.m. in the “FABRIK” has developed into another definite highlight among the guests. The disused factory building with all its cogwheels, machine parts and blast furnaces offers the ideal location for a cult and exuberant club night. “Dance All Night” is the motto and so “Tamara Mascara & Friends” will play fierily on the dance floors and make the factory halls glow until the early hours of the morning. A free shuttle bus brings the guests from 20:30 to the FABRIK, which is only 4 km away from Pörtschach, and then commutes the whole night.
PINK LAKE BOAT
For many guests, the absolute highlight of the PINK LAKE Festival has been the “Boat Cruise Party” on the turquoise waters of Lake Wörthersee for years. On Saturday the 24th of August it will be “All aboard” for all guests in Pörtschach from 19:00. Due to the great demand, three ships from the fleet of the Wörthersee-Schifffahrt will set sail again this year. Due to the spectacular tying up, the three ships will become the largest dance floor on the lake in the course of the evening and make the Boat Cruise-Party a truly unique party event in the community.
CLUB, BEACH, PARTY, UNIQUE IN AUSTRIA
The Beach Club is also an absolute top visitor attraction at the festival: every day from Thursday to Sunday, the flower island (peninsula off Pörtschach) becomes “Pink Island”. The lush green sunbathing lawn, the turquoise blue water, chilled loungers, snacks & drinks, the gentle lounge sound of our DJ ́s and of course the popular beach games with Mataina make the Beach Club the perfect location to relax between the parties. For fun and variety, they offer water sports such as wakeboard or Aqua-Tubes. www.pinklake.at
