A leisurely stroll through the Kirta Mile offers fashion, handicrafts, gift ideas, culinary delights, and much more.

Child-Friendly Fun
The TIP Kirta is a true paradise for families and young visitors. The E-Mini Express train operated by Energie Steiermark travels free of charge through the city – a special experience for children, with a stop at the solar tree. The lovingly designed children's program includes adventure climbing at the Alpine Club climbing tower, face painting at the Raiffeisen booth, fun children's theater in Bürgergasse, and numerous hands-on stations. Sumsi will also be on tour again, handing out little surprises. A sporting highlight awaits all guests at 6:00 p.m. on the main square: the acrobats of the RRC New Rock Generation and the GTV Gleisdorf section will present impressive dance and gymnastics performances.
