The penultimate day will include notable names in Eurovision history, concluding with a trivia event hosted by OGAE, allowing a spirited competition among fans.

The schedule wraps up on May 16, coinciding with the contest's Grand Final at Wiener Stadthalle, ensuring that Eurofan House remains a focal point for Eurovision culture throughout the week.

This friendly, accessible atmosphere not only celebrates Eurovision's rich heritage but provides a space for fans to engage in the social and cultural dimensions of the event, fostering a stronger sense of community.
