50,000 visitors celebrated the party of the year in St. Pölten for three days. Now it’s time to get rid of the mountains of garbage. Only a few hours after the festival visitors turned their backs on the capital, the first cleaning crews, but also many “bargain hunters” set off.
The Frequency Festival 2023 is history. For three days the party was in the capital of the state. What remains besides the memory of the festival of the year are mainly the mountains of rubbish along the Traisen. Already on Sunday morning, so while the departing caravan was still departing, the first people from St. Pölten already vented their anger. “When do you plan to clean up here?”, they vented on the internet, among other things. In general, however, residents were in a mild mood this year.
Successful party
The improvements made in recent years have had an effect: access to the festival grounds was banned in the settlement areas, and other precautions such as parking bans also added to the benevolence of those who had suffered before. “It has never been easier than this year,” says a young resident.
The organizer relies on cleanliness
The motto is: “Escaping from everyday life, seeing some cool acts, partying with friends late into the night and then splashing around in the Traisen during the day. That’s what the frequency stands for. What it doesn’t stand for, however, is the environmental impact that the beautiful festival site is exposed to every year, it’s time to do something about it!” reads the festival’s website.
The organizer has been focusing on more sustainability for years, for example with its own green camping site. Here they want to “give people with an environmentally conscious mind the chance to enjoy a clean and quiet festival”. In addition, the throwaway society is clearly rejected with reusable tents. But even during the festival, our own waste collection teams – the so-called green teams – are on the road on the grounds.
