A festival with passion and risk
Since the first Schlössernacht in 2009, the event has become an integral part of the Dresden Summer of Culture. The event was canceled for two years due to the coronavirus, but now the 15th edition is about to take place. What many visitors don't know: The Schlössernacht is organized entirely by the private sector without public funding. "We are very happy that there are companies in the region that want to keep the Schlössernacht going together with us," emphasizes organizer Mirco Meinel from First Class Concept. Every year, it's all about breaking even, as open-air events are extremely dependent on the weather. But the enthusiasm of the visitors is always touching: "People queued up and danced happily even in the rain. That was pure goosebumps for me."
