Fête de la Musique: Thuringia celebrates with music in the streets!

In Thuringia, people use the beautiful weather and come to street festivals in large numbers that invite a colorful mix of food, drinks and, above all, live music. This Saturday, June 21st, one of the highlights of the German music scene is in the house: the Fête de la Musique . There are celebrations in many cities and visitors can look forward to a great program next Saturday.

The preparations are already in full swing, especially in Erfurt, where many musical talents have already populated the streets at the recently taken place. But the spectacle is far from over! In Eisenberg, the organizers have announced eleven acts in six locations that start at Rossplatz at 6 p.m. and create a mood until midnight. Music styles such as folk, rock and hit promise that there is something for everyone.

cultural diversity in the cities

Weimar will also not be ragged and awaits 350 artists from over 60 bands at 14 places in the city center. From folklore to jazz to tango and Afrobeat, everything is represented. The street festival between the Jakobskirche, People's Straße and Castle, which goes from 5:30 p.m. to midnight, will be particularly interesting. Here visitors can also present the song "Never again is now".

In Altenburg there is a free music event for the third time that is child -friendly from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. When the weather is nice, the concerts take place in the back yard of the casino. In bad weather conditions, the events move to the former restaurant. Numerous musicians are also on the move in Gera, Pößneck and Bad Blankenburg and offer live music at more than ten locations, with a total of over 60 artists being expected in Pößneck.

community feeling and political debates

A special highlight in Greiz will be a large dark blue stage that is built for the Fête de la Musique. Here an artist appears as a opening act for another appearance. The political context is not neglected: While the event stands for openness and community, the AfD would like to use the stage in the castle garden for political discussions, which should cause mixed reactions for some visitors.

Another interesting aspect is the connection of the Fête de la Musique in Jena for demonstration to Christopher Street Day. Musicians offer their free live concerts in public places, not only in Jena. In a total of 30 cities of Thuringia, music is made on this day of action, which illustrates the extraordinary width and diversity of the festival.

The Fête de la Musique is a worldwide celebration that is celebrated by more than 1000 cities. It was launched in France in 1982 and has since developed into a symbol of cultural exchange and cooperation. With so many possibilities, there is nothing standing in the way of the musical enjoyment when celebrating!

with great weather in prospect, visitors can expect an unforgettable night full of music and conviviality on Saturday. So it means: bring music and bring a good mood!
