The festival often supports a program of talks and tours. Calle Libre has evolved into the largest festival for urban aesthetics in Central Europe.While the Danube Canal is known as the epicenter of street art in Vienna, the murals associated with Calle Libre can be found throughout the city, particularly in the 6th, 7th, and 8th districts.
