If you’re in the mood for an elegant party on New Year’s Eve 2026, you’ll find a stylish option in the First District. The Cateringkultur team is hosting the Concordia 1920s New Year’s Eve Ball at the historic Palais Eschenbach. We’ve taken a sneak peek at the program for this journey back in time to the Roaring Twenties and summarized the key facts about the event for you.
Live music and burlesque shows
The evening begins with doors opening at 7:30 p.m., after which emcee Michael Schefts will guide the audience through the program. He will be joined by opera singer Katrin Targo and vocalist Nele Moser, who will perform authentic songs from the 1920s and 1930s on stage. A visual highlight will be the two “Burlesque Surprise” performances by artist Kiki Koquette, which will take place at exactly 10:30 p.m. and 11:15 p.m.

Gala buffet and all-inclusive drinks
For the hefty ticket price of 295 euros per person, you’ll get not only the show program but also a comprehensive all-inclusive evening. You won’t pay anything extra! The gala buffet features local classics such as authentic Viennese veal schnitzel with potato salad and fine Ötscherblick ham. Those with a sweet tooth can look forward to freshly made Kaiserschmarrn with stewed plums or a traditionally rolled apple strudel.
Right at midnight, the New Year will be celebrated with a confetti fireworks display. Afterward, the Burgzimmer opens, where you can ring in the New Year to swing music starting at 12:00 a.m. All beverages—including Hochriegel sparkling wine, Gösser beer, and long drinks—are included in the price and will be served until closing time at 2:00 a.m. For a late-night treat, the restaurant will also serve classic goulash soup as a midnight snack.
