📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Out in the Kraut-Festival is an alternative music-festival with around 3000 visitors. Its character is strictly non-commercial. There are no tickets (pay what you like at the entrance), no rubbish bins (people collect their own rubbish themselves) and no fences or security-guys. This festival aims to show people new concepts of how to organize a music festival. We try to be environmentally friendly and have a good vibe on the site. There are around 2 stages with music and 2 bars. The site is located in a nice Swiss rural area on the lands of an old farmhouse next to the river Emme.
