The Central Saxon Culture SummerAnnual events

The Central Saxon Culture Summer" is one of the most varied German cultural festivals. Every summer the registered society which has the same name as the festival is called presents a cultural festival for three months. More than 40 cultural performances with over 3,000 people being active in them will be held in the region. The festival motto is:"Enjoy the landscape- experience the culture". One of the main goals of that festival is to make people deal with the local history and regional stories. That way the regional self-consciousness of the visitors is supposed to be strenghtened. While taking care for the Saxon traditions in the course of the festival, the festival shall also create new traditions which have an important influence on the cultural scene in Central Saxony to a great extend.


The festival aims at promoting the culture of various clubs, organisations and registered societies in Central Saxony and wants to inspire these to present themselves on the numerous stages of the region.
