international festival charity bazaar

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 80 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.
