FEZ 26Festival Celebrating the Dawn of the Future

October 1–4, 2026 | Dornbirn | Opening of CampusVäre | Creative Industries, Innovation, Art & Culture

With FEZ 26, the “Festival to Open the Future,” CampusVäre will celebrate its official opening from October 1 through 4, 2026. Where industrial history was once made, one of the largest centers for the creative economy, innovation, art, and culture in Western Austria is taking shape. The festival brings this new beginning to life and invites everyone to discover the future of the site together.

For four days, visitors can look forward to a diverse program featuring guided tours of the exhibition halls, discussions on the creative industries, the innovation economy, architecture, and neighborhood development, as well as workshops, consultation sessions, and exhibitions. In addition, the focus is on encounters and exchange: from Vorarlberg’s longest culinary table to stage talks, concerts, dance, and a festive atmosphere.

FEZ 26 is an invitation not only to discuss the future, but also to actively help shape it. The festival brings together creative professionals, businesses, culture enthusiasts, and those shaping the future, highlighting the potential that lies in the combination of creativity, innovation, and collaborative development.

Dates: October 1–4, 2026
Location: CampusVäre, Dornbirn
