Celebrate the weekend: concerts, festivals and sport in Northern Saxony!

As the temperatures rise and the days get longer, music is in the air. On the weekend from June 20th to 22nd, not only Northern Saxony, but also the entire region will be dominated by eventful events. A highlight is the annual Fête de la Musique, which unfolds its special splendor on Friday in Torgau.

On Friday from 5 p.m. the Fête de la Musique will kick off with live music on the market square and in the Kulturbastion in Torgau. This event, originally launched in Paris in 1982, has now become an international festival and is celebrated in over 540 cities worldwide. The idea behind the Fête de la Musique is clear: music – free and outdoors – the more diverse, the better. Under the motto, the event encourages not only professional musicians but also amateur artists to present their talent. The program promises a colorful mix of different genres of music, so there is something for everyone. Dresden is even celebrating 20 years of the Fête de la Musique this year, which increases the anticipation for this special day, as neustadt-ticker.de reports.

Cultural variety in Northern Saxony

While the music is playing in Torgau, there are numerous other events in northern Saxony. On Friday evening, residents and guests can experience the Torgau Organ Night with Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto in the town church of St. Marien. There will also be a reading by Manfred Boes about “Extraordinary Women of Writing” in the city library. If you like something more sporty, you have the opportunity to take part in the beach volleyball youth cup in Delitzsch or take part in the sports festival in Weßnig.

Saturday also promises excitement and entertainment. From 8 a.m. it's “Yoga in the Sand” in Delitzsch, while the beach volleyball Quattro Mixed Cup takes place in the afternoon. Another highlight is the summer night ball in the beer garden in Trossin. And on Sunday, among other things, a children's festival in Lonnewitz and the final concert of the 42nd Torgau Festival Week of Church Music await visitors.

International music festival

The Fête de la Musique ensures that people come together and celebrate music in all its facets. What is particularly noteworthy is that over 140 locations in Germany take part in this spectacle. The organization is coordinated by a network of cultural workers, supported by the MusikZentrum Hannover. Global actors and the exchange of artists are the focus of this unique festival, which can include musical performances from small street concerts to large stage shows. Therefore, Torgau also pays attention to the special diversity that makes up the event, as fetedelamusique.info informs.

Whether in Torgau with the Fête de la Musique or at one of the many other events: there will be no lack of musical and cultural diversity in Northern Saxony this weekend. The population is invited to experience the colors of music and celebrate life!
