On July 21 and August 3, you can look forward to fantastic concerts featuring works inspired by Romeo and Juliet and world-famous film music.

Brückenfestival
The festival is free and open to everyone! The Brückenfestival offers various types of entertainment, primarily music but also other forms of pop culture. It lasts two days and is organized by the Brückenfestival e.V. In addition to the Brückenfestival, the association also organizes “Bierchen und Bühnchen,” a music event in pubs in Gostenhof, Himpfelshof, and surrounding areas, which took place on April 6 this year. The bridge festival is mainly financed by the sale of drinks, and all employees work on a voluntary basis.
