Event information

Date & Time

entrance free

The planting festival on the theme of "Awakening" will open with European presentations in the main project "Living Neighbourhood". Under the title 'Rise like an apple tree. An ESC Lookalike', Chemnitz stage versions of European highlights from the history of the Eurovision Song Contest can be seen, heard and ultimately celebrated - with plenty of glitter, charisma and diverse emotions.

As part of the main project Living Neighbourhood and in cooperation with the Diversity Programme of Chemnitz European Capital of Culture 2025, Chemnitz residents will present selected European Song Contest cover versions. All technically easily realisable stage shows are possible: lip-synching performances, dress-up catwalks and much more. We will bring the special features from the history of the annual European Song Contest into the present and celebrate the Starlight moments together.

Admission is from 6 pm. Seating is limited. It's worth coming early.
