Since 2018, the Freundeskreis Chemnitz 2025 e.V. has regularly invited all those interested in culture to picnics at various locations in the city, e.g. at the Karl Marx Monument or on Stefan-Heym-Platz.

At the meetings, one can talk about ideas, goals and the current status of Chemnitz’ application for the European Capital of Culture 2025. In the meantime, the format “Picnic2025” has already taken place six times and attracts more Chemnitzers to the door at each meeting.
