at 10:00 am at the public tent located in the Arrival Area. A typical Frühschoppen breakfast consisting of white sausages and beer will give everyone a chance to mingle and network. A similar breakfast will be offered on Saturday. Furthermore, there are several get-togethers and events during the weekend all held under the banner of “World Cup Adventures”.

The highlight of the Fan Festival is once again the Fan Parade on Saturday prior to the race. The parade starts at 10:45 am from the public tent. All kinds of Fan Clubs will showcase their efforts equipped with flags, drums and bells parading first through the town of St.Christina before reaching their designated Fan Stands from where they will have ample opportunity to show their vocal support for their favorite athlete.

A jury will select the most meaningful Fan Club and award them with a prize at the end of Saturday’s Downhill race. Last year’s winner was Christof Innerhofer’s Fan Club.
