DAS FEST is taking part in the ‘About Europe’ initiative and helping to shape the future of festivals in Europe

As an active member of the European festival network YOUROPE, DAS FEST is taking part in the ‘About Europe’ initiative as part of the joint 3F (Future-Fit Festivals) project. The project brings together festival organisers and cultural practitioners from across Europe to highlight the role of culture, music and festivals in promoting democracy, social cohesion and a vibrant Europe.

Martin Wacker, Managing Director of Karlsruhe Marketing und Event GmbH, is one of the driving forces behind the initiative. He describes festivals as places of encounter where people come together and experience a sense of community, regardless of their background, age or life circumstances.

Through its involvement in international networks, DAS FEST once again underlines its ambition not only to be one of Germany’s largest family festivals, but also to play an active role in shaping the future of the European festival and cultural landscape – firmly rooted in Karlsruhe whilst being well-connected across Europe.
