Hello. We could potentially be in Vienna in September during the Erntedankfest (Vienna Harvest Festival) as part of a 4-city Central Europe vacation. It sounds like it would be fun to attend, but I'm curious if anybody has been in past years. If so, please share your thoughts. If we choose to be in Vienna for this festival, then our trip will need to begin the first week in September. If we decide that this festival doesn't seem worth doing, we could delay our trip by a week or so (til the second or third week in September) when presumably the summer crowds are mostly gone. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I go every year.
Crowded, a main stage with Austrian music, beer, loads of picnic tables for eating food from the food stalls, booths set up highlighting tourism to the regions of Austria, vendors selling Austrian-made food products, lots of wine. We usually go and have a look - maybe have a drink. I spend maybe 2 hours there. Depends on your interests. Again, can be very crowded.
