the “Schützen” of the Laas Company will prepare tasty grilled chicken on a wooden grill, in a demonstration kitchen visitors will be surprised with tasty dishes and refreshing drinks that will definitely quench your thirst. This festival area is also operated by ASC-Laas Raiffeisen and the music band of Laas.

Festival area - Marble World of Laas

In the special ambience of the Marble World of Laas you will not only find the marble bar with refreshing drinks, but also dishes to snack. Away from the lively market hustle and rush, you also have the opportunity to visit the open-air museum: a special exhibition of artistic sculptures from the last marble symposium.
