Bergstadtfest 2025: A festival of colors and Ukrainian sounds!

Freiberg, Deutschland - The 38th mountain town festival in Freiberg is coming to an end and attracts many visitors. The event will be officially completed on Sunday evening, but the memories of the festive days stop. The "Free Press" tries to summarize the most beautiful moments and experiences of this colorful festival. The weather conditions were varied: While light rain fell on Thursday and was cool on Friday, numerous visitors came by despite the rainy weather to enjoy the fixed atmosphere on Saturday. Burgstraße in the afternoon in particular was heavily frequented, and in the children's and family world on the Nikolaikirche there was a lot of operation all day.

The focus was on a special highlight, especially on Saturday: a Ukrainian group designed a varied program as part of the festival that invited visitors to get to know the Ukrainian culture. Singing and typical handicrafts took place in the children's and family world on the Nikolaikirche. In addition to delicious Ukrainian cuisine, a handicraft stand for children was also offered, where they were able to produce typical Ukrainian wrap dolls, so -called "Motanka". These dolls symbolically stand for fertility and happiness and convey traditional knowledge of culture and customs, which the little participants learned with a lot of zeal.

a festival for the whole family

The program was not only designed for children, adults also got their money's worth. The theater in Freiberg offered exciting tours that attracted many curious visitors. The mountain city festival became a wonderful opportunity for all ages to get in touch with each other and to share new experiences. The demonstrations of the Ukrainian choir in traditional costume, which took place on the stage in the afternoon, were another highlight of this year's festival. The performances at 2:45 p.m. attracted many spectators and created a happy mood.

a certain arc on culture

The way in which Ukrainian culture was integrated into the festival shows how important it is to beat bridges between different cultures. By collecting donations for medical products in Ukraine, the organizers have also integrated a social aspect in the festival. This shows that culture can not only maintain, but also connect. The call to support was well received by many guests.

The mountain city festival was not only a celebration of the regional culture, but also offered a platform for international understanding. The festival in Freiberg suggests that festivals like this are more than just social gatherings; They are an opportunity for cultural exchange and community cohesion.

Whatever the weather god acts next year, one thing is certain: the mountain town festival remains an integral part of the cultural calendar in Freiberg and is an experience that invites you to return. Even if the 38th mountain city festival will soon be a thing of the past, the stimulating conversations, the happy songs and the love of culture will have a long time.
