Fortysomething (2007 - present)

To celebrate the forty-year anniversary of steirischer herbst in 2007, we created a GPS-triggered audio guide that charts, investigates and reveals the events that have taken place on the streets of the city during the festival.

You are still able to experience fortysomething in Graz, any time you like. Details here
