“An artistic, culinary and creative event, combines applications that were suitable for everyday use during the crisis, such as eating and drinking to go, with a new attitude towards life after the crisis. Art, culture and cuisine are combined with our wonderful landscape and benefit everyone. Artists who have been away from the public for so long, hosts who can offer a new package and guests who experience a new attitude towards life, ”summarized the governor Peter Kaiser the new project at the presentation in Schloss Mageregg in Klagenfurt today.
“This picnic idea conveys a positive attitude towards life for all of Carinthia, which is important right now. This will turn the most beautiful places in Carinthia into a new experience. It will be a good summer” “

For Tourism Provincial Council Sebastian Schuschnig the initiative is a further step towards a good start to summer. “Those most affected by the crisis, culture and gastronomy, can now start over. This picnic idea conveys a positive attitude towards life for all of Carinthia, which is important right now. This turns the most beautiful places in Carinthia into a new adventure space. It will be a good summer, ”said Schuschnig. Also Jürgen Mandl, President of the Chamber of Commerce is enthusiastic about the idea, “because it is good for the spirit and the industry, because it makes frequencies possible and increases sales with a newly learned behavior in the crisis, such as eating to go, and increased leisure and Recreational behavior, ”explains Mandl.
These places become picnic areas
In places where it is allowed to linger (online map on www.p4d.at) people can meet for a picnic from mid-June to mid-September and are spontaneously surprised and accompanied by cultural, artistic performances. Always important and clear: the applicable Corona rules.
Special atmosphere
For the picnic you can order picnic packages from a landlord near the open-air living room by telephone from mid-June or choose, order, pay for and pick them up on the website. “In this way, our most beautiful excursion destinations with art, culture and cuisine become a new way of life. All material for the picnic, because the environment has to stay clean, everyone has to take their empty picnic parcels back with them, ”says Reinhard Eberhard, describing the intention. The picnic idea is lived like a pop-up store – there are no invitations, no fixed performance dates for the artists. Only the locations and the packages that the hosts are offering from mid-June are fixed. The artist community is broadly diversified, from acrobats to Carinthian choirs, storytellers to magicians, every genre is represented. The appearances are filmed and published on social media channels. “It’s like street theater all over the world, just in beautiful Carinthian squares,” says Eberhard.
