Party feeling

Festivals

In Staufen, culture can be seen and expe­ri­enced in a special way in the many festivals and cele­bra­tions. These include not only the three festivals in June, August and October, which have now found a new home in the Faust­Forum. But also the popular open-air festivals such as “Wine and Music”, the “Mark­gräfler Weinfest” or the tradi­tional “Annafest”, not forget­ting the “STAdt­GESchichten” in September. Cultural flair in a histor­ical and new ambience, that’s Staufen — where tradition, wine, music and lively festivals are at home.

The opening of the Faust­Forum has opened up new oppor­tu­ni­ties to lead our own festivals into the future, to make careful changes and not to forget the familiar.

The festivals in pictures

The fact that the three festivals could not be more different and each has its very own focus is probably best illus­trated by photos. The young TheaterTage festival presents current plays with actors of all ages. The Culture Week attracts fans of cabaret and invites them to dance, while the oldest festival, the Music Week, features inter­na­tional and national artists and ensembles on the theme of “Fantasia”. Course partic­i­pants like to travel to Staufen from far and wide because they want to combine their own music-making and singing with the shared enjoyment of the evening concerts in a wonderful landscape.
