Kasperiade inspires in Radebeul: A festival full of stories and puppets!
What a weekend in Radebeul! This year's Casperiad has once again shown how lively the young talents of puppetry are. For the first time, the city's oldest cultural festival no longer took place at the Kulturbahnhof, but rather on the area between the Luther Church and the Karl May Museum. Six stages offered a varied and humorous program. After some time of free events, admission was charged for the first time this year, but this did not bring in the hoped-for number of visitors. There was also a premiere: The new artistic director Bianka Heuser put together a children's jury consisting of eight critical newcomers between the ages of 7 and 10. These small jury members had the task of experiencing all the performances and deciding on the best piece of the festival on Sunday.
The festival days are not only a great experience for the children, but also for the puppeteers, who are enthusiastically given new impulses. Behind the scenes of the Castle Festival A large team in Meißen ensures that the event runs smoothly. The location in front of the Albrechtsburg presents exciting challenges, which are already being planned for the next castle festival in 2027.

The local economy is on the upswing
In addition to artistic highlights, there is also economic news in Radebeul. The married couple Gundel and Mathias Woite have opened a new boutique hotel near Wackerbarth Castle. In just 13 months, they transformed a neighboring house into a charming hostel, using a lot of their own work and uniquely designing the rooms with old furniture and flea market finds. Other plans include redesigning the garden and making various improvements to the house.
And the beauty industry doesn't sleep! The new beauty studio “Smooth Hairless Body” has opened in Meißen, run by Wendy and Ronny Wetzl.
