The UNWG organizes an annual one-day International Festival Bazaar for the public with free admission. There are gift items for sale from around the world and special food and drink offered by kitchens from many countries. There are also international cultural performances for the family. UNWG members and volunteers from the international communities in Vienna take part in the Bazaar. Embassies and international missions to the UN have provided support through the years. Austrian and international businesses also contribute to the success of the Bazaar. Since 1968, the Bazaar has raised over €5 million for charity.

With the funds raised at the 2024 Bazaar and money raised by other UNWG activities, the UNWG was able to grant € 82,409.60 in 2025 to children's charities in ten countries. (See the Charity page for details.)

The 2025 Bazaar will take place in the Austria Center Vienna (ACV) on Saturday, 29 November. Preparation and work on the Bazaar has already begun. 

Thank you to all volunteers, stallholders and donators who will once again join hands to help children around the world in the biggest charity event organized by UNWG.
