In the Macke Quarter in Bonn Here’s what the festival will bring on Sunday

Bonn · Many cultural establishments are inviting people to call in during this Sunday’s Macke Quarter Festival between Frankenbad and Viktoria bridge.

On Sunday, May 13, the Macke Quarter Festival will take place for the 7th time - initiated by cultural, religious and charitable institutions. Mainly between 2pm and 6pm artist, musicians, and restaurant owners offer a vast program for visitors to the festival. Exhibitions, workshops, graffiti spraying, theatre plays and guided tours are all part of the event.

The initiators want to strengthen the neighbourly togetherness in the quarter, they said. Some clubs, like the Künstlerforum (art forum), the Bonn art club, the women’s museum as well as religious groups like DITIB and the parish St Petrus, are taking part.

„We don’t pre-select - and we don’t decide what’s allowed to be art. We create freedom for art“, said Natascia Cuschie from the Fabrik 45 last year. The festival, which developed from a spontaneous street art event „Colourful against Nazis“, wants to honour art and its different directions.

To show all the hidden places, which have never been noticed by many Bonn people, the organisers offer guided tours too. The routes are noted on a flyer and are easy to find.
