A Preview of the Life Ball Festivity in Vienna

Austria is full of excitement and fun-- the best reasons for sightseers to often visit this country. But this year, there is only one reason for people to go to Austria, and that is the Life Ball festivity in Vienna, a big annual event held every May in Rathaus. This occasion is a remarkable fund-raising project of the Vienna City Hall for the benefit of AIDS victims.

During this time of the year, both VIPs and commoners fly to Vienna just to observe the Life Ball occasion and also to help in this project. But for most people, they attend this occasion to see their cherished stars perform on stage. Celebrated celebrities, musicians, and models commonly open the occasion, and afterwards, other prominent figures follow. Aside from the celebrated people, the DJs, the live music, and other captivating activities motivate people to witness such event.

Usually, tickets for this occasion are sold out easily, but those who are not able to buy a ticket still have fun in the annual celebration because of the prestigious fashion show outside the Vienna City Hall that features International designers and models. More than 4,000 people, including sightseers and locals, see the Life Ball while 30,000 people see the Vienna fashion show.
