📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The purpose of the association is to organize a yearly tiny music festival. In 2022, it will be the 27th edition Organizers work on a voluntary basis and try to do it all by themselves. It is an alternative way to stay free from sponsors and economic rules that are usually in place for big festivals. In the end the festival looks like a nice handmade event where people can enjoy a wide variety of music styles and meet each other in a friendly atmosphere. As a volunteer youll be involved in creating a unique non-profit, human-sized and eco-friendly event.
