Restart of the Altenstadtfest: New concept for 2025 is certain!

Altenstadt, Deutschland - In 2025 there is finally a restart for the Altenstadtfest after a long break of six years! The municipal council of Altenstadt has decided to revitalize the popular festival, which last in 2019 because of the Corona pandemic. Mayor Dominic Imhof explains that the venue will now be the green area between Stammheimer Straße and Fritz-Kreß-Straße. This is an attempt to counteract the stagnant attractiveness of the festival, as in a report by fnp.de

from the crisis to the new chance

The past few years have shown that the old festival in the streets of the historical town center no longer has the attraction that it once had. Before the pandemic, interest in participation had dropped, and it was all the more important to venture into a fresh start. Imhof announces that the planned old city festival should take place on the weekend of 23 and 24 August 2025. A stage program will be offered on the first day of the event, while on Sunday the local community will be put into the spotlight by presentations of clubs and initiatives. This includes cabaret, children's and family programs to integrate different generations.

Imhof would like to organize the festival together with citizens and representatives from all districts to ensure broad acceptance and participation. Citizens could not only be integrated into the organization as a spectator, but also actively, an idea that Karl Ventulet also mentioned positively from the Greens. However, he pointed out that the diversity and inclusiveness, which were once part of the Altenstadtfest, should not be forgotten, as is documented in the protocols of the parish meeting, such as Altenstadt.Gremien.info
