Pflasterspektakel Festival 23 - 25 July 2009 Linz, Austria

The streets of Linz almost explode as five hundred street artists from across Europe come together for the stupendous Pflasterspektakel festival of mime, juggling, acrobatics and magic.
Pflasterspektakel means “paving stone spectacular” and for three days around forty performance areas are laid out in 3 main zones across the streets of Linz downtown. The artists perform 3 times each day, so there are enough opportunities to catch as many performances as possible. From the informal beginning in ‘86, the event has rapidly grown to attract some 170000 visitors and turned into a fixture in the European street-art scene.
In addition to the street performances, several stages host musical and performing artists in the evenings, including night shows in a tent behind the Ursulinenhof. Also in the afternoons pantomime and magic shows turn Linz’s Old City into a dream world, while later each evening a fire show and Samba parades light up the streets.
As for the kids, during the day they can romp and play in the Landhaus Park, where other children’s activities are also staged.
