At the start of October, Chemnitz is celebrating Jewish culture as the current European Capital of Culture. The occasion is the Feast of Tabernacles Sukkot, which Jews celebrate as their harvest festival at the beginning of the month. Not only two leaf huts will be erected in the Stadthallenpark. From October 5 to 12, there are also numerous events on the program: concerts from punk and rap to klezmer, cooking workshops, lectures and readings. The festival will also be celebrated in Mittweida as part of the Capital of Culture region - including with installations and exhibitions by 25 international artists at various locations in the city.
The Capital of Culture program is thus entering its final phase. It is scheduled to conclude on November 29 on the first weekend of Advent. Visitors should still get their money's worth until then. "We are still sailing under full sail," assures Managing Director Andrea Pier. "We are not yet in the throes of farewell pain."
