Day of Samariterbund
On May 25, 2024, the Samaritan Association is inviting people to a festival for the whole family for the 13th time. This time too, the popular radio presenter Alex Jokel will lead through the varied program. In addition to the demonstrations by the dog team, which can also be petted after their performance, life-saving first aid measures are also presented. Tours of rescue cars, rescue motorcycles, emergency bikes and quads are also offered.
For the first time, visitors will have the opportunity to independently undertake a rescue trip in a blue light simulator. Not only normal trips through streets and alleys are simulated, but also emergency trips at various levels of difficulty from beginners to experienced emergency drivers.
Many social projects “Our offering ranges from rescue and medical transport to care and numerous projects for people on the poverty line. We offer support with social markets, help through social counseling and the Soup Pot project, whereby food is distributed free of charge to people in need. We provide information about this and many other offers on Samaritan Association Day,” says Oliver Löhlein, Managing Director of the Vienna Samaritan Association.
A lot of fun and good entertainment should never be neglected on the Kaiserwiese: this year too, the appearance of the popular children's songwriter Bernhard Fibich and clown Poppo will ensure happy faces. Numerous hands-on stations, puppet shows, face painting, a bouncy castle and much more await enthusiastic children. Cevapcici and curd dumplings There is a big cooking on Samaritan Day. In addition to a vegetarian dish, the field kitchen offers grilled cevapcici; The Meals on Wheels producer Gourmet treats visitors to fluffy organic curd dumplings with a fruity sauce. All of this is available free of charge – in return for a voluntary donation, which benefits people at risk of poverty. Sustainable event The Day of the Samaritan Association is a barrier-free eco-event. Particular attention is paid to organic and regional ingredients, climate-friendly mobility, resource conservation and waste avoidance.
