The venue locations for the World Gymnaestrada 2019 are spread throughout the Vorarlberg Rhine Valley and are easily reached by public transport. Those of you who were here in 2007 know that the distances are well manageable. While the Large Group Performances were held in Lustenau in 2007, now for 2019 will be in Bregenz next to the Lake Constance. The Opening and the Closing events as well as the Dornbirn Special will be in the Dornbirn Birkenwiese Stadium and the Group Performances as well as almost all the evening events will be in the Dornbirn Trade Exhibition Centre. Also in different towns and villages open-air stages will be built.

Open-air Stages
It is estimated that in the centres of eight different towns and villages in Vorarlberg, open-air stages will be built. The World Gymnaestrada is coming to the heart of the towns and it is certain the performances will thrill the spectators, as they will be close to the action, whether it is a planned visit or just be chance. Old and young, business people, families and pensioners, all passing through the centres of the towns and the World Gymnaestrada will be the middle point of this encounter.
Size of performance area
The size of the performance area is planned to be mainly in the range of 14 m x 14 m. The external dimenions of the City Performance stages will therefore be in the range of 16 m x 16 m with an average height of 50 – 80 cm and a roofing height of 6 – 8 m. The stages will be completely covered to have both rain protection as well as sunscreens. At least two stages are planned to be equipped with a particular number of gymnastics apparatus. With such general set-up we hope that – just as in 2007 – as many groups as possible make use of the opportunity to present one or more shows on a City Performance stage.
The stages are expected in:
Bregenz, Höchst, Lustenau, Wolfurt, Hohenems, Götzis, Rankweil, Feldkirch
