Ceremonial start: Magdalena Egger crowned the new narcissus queen!

On May 30, 2025, the beautiful narcissus festival in Bad Aussee begins its second festival days and captivates both locals and guests with a colorful program. The start took place on May 29, when the garden festival of the volunteer fire brigade in the spa park initiated the happy mood. Many visitors gathered in a festive atmosphere and enjoyed the ambience.

The solemn highlights of the first day continued with the coronation evening in the Kur- & Congresshaus at 7 p.m. The focus was particularly on the choice of the new narcissus queen. Magdalena Egger from Bad Mitterndorf, a 24-year-old passionate flutist, was crowned new sovereignty. Together with their narcissus princesses Celina Gschaider from Seekirchen am Wallersee and Johanna Murauer from Altmünster am Traunsee, both of whom are also musically talented, they present the bloom of the festival.

The program of the daffodil festival is diverse and offers something for everyone. On Friday, May 30th, the traditional May dance, for example, is on the schedule at 9 a.m. in the Kur- & Congresshaus. Children from the region proudly show their dance skills. In the evening, the city center of Bad Aussee again becomes the pedestrian zone and invites you to the narcissus night, where musical entertainment and regional delicacies are waiting for the guests.
