Neckenmarkt - Fahnenschwingen, Austria
This annual local festival takes place on the first Sunday after Corpus Christi. The festival pays tribute to the residents of Neckenmarkt who, in 1620, helped Prince Esterhazy fend off invaders from Siebenburgen. In reward, the residents were given their own flag, which they parade through the streets during this festival.

Residents also wear traditional costumes to dance and celebrate in the streets and to attend a great outdoor feast where local food never seems to stop.
