The Karl May Festival in Radebeul in mid-May will be inviting visitors on an excursion into the adventure writer's fantasy world for the 33rd time. This year's programme under the motto "Festival in the Saddle" combines proven
highlights with new, exciting accents, announced the city of Radebeul as the organizer.
Country night to kick things off
From 15 to 17 May, visitors to the Lößnitzgrund can expect "a special piece of adventure history" with hands-on activities such as archery or gold digging, the traditional star rider parade and with indigenous guests from North America, according to the organizers. The event kicks off on Friday with a country night in the western town of "Little Tombstone".
Among the highlights are performances by US artist Supaman with a mix of traditional pow-wow singing and modern hip-hop. Stagings such as "The Paperboy" and new scenes from "Shatterhand" will be shown at various venues. Visitors can also immerse themselves in the world of Karl May's Orient. Members of the indigenous peoples Diné and Lakota will provide an insight into their lives, customs and culture.
