City festival in Strasburg: Call of donations required for 775th anniversary!

The 775th anniversary of the city is celebrated in Strasburg this year. But despite the joy of the anniversary, the planned city festival faces major challenges. Mayor Klemens Kowalski (independent) fights to save the festival, which is to take place on the Reuterkoppel from September 12th to 14th. However, the originally planned celebrations were significantly smaller after the household was rejected by the city representatives at the meeting in April. This lacks the necessary funds for voluntary services such as the city festival, since the current budget is only temporary and does not provide any financial means. On the coming Thursday, the double budget will be up to vote again, which is intended to include the financing of the city festival with 25,000 euros, a sum that will not be sufficient without collecting additional donations, reports NDR .

The city administration takes the matter in hand and continues to plan for the festival week despite the uncertain financial situation. A public call for donations has already started and initial support has been received in the lower four -digit range. A total of a total of five -digit range is required to carry out the city festival, and everyone who wants to participate is welcome. On this occasion, donors can even expect a memory present for the 775th anniversary, as Nordkurier

cultural diversity despite restrictions

The planned program of the city festival promises a colorful mix of cultural events, music, sports and family offers. However, due to the uncertain financial situation, the event has to accept some cuts. Planned attractions such as a climbing park for children, a Schalmei chapel and a laser show were canceled. As a special incentive, 35 participants have already registered for the parade of local companies and clubs, which shows that the community holds together.

city festivals are not only important for cultural life, they also contribute significantly to the local economy. Visitors to the city festival spend money on regional specialties, handicrafts and activities, which can boost consumption in the area. According to Traditional Verlag , this influx increases the demand for accommodation and brings additional income for the local hotel industry. If the festival becomes a success, it could not only promote tourism, but also strengthen the community spirit and enliven the local economy.

The call to support the citizens will be crucial so that the city festival not only takes place, but also becomes an unforgettable experience for everyone. Mayor Kowalski and the city administration hope that the city community will stand behind its anniversary. It remains to be seen whether a positive decision will be made on Thursday and whether the announced donations will arrive to save the festival.
