Tollwood Summer Festival - the platform for change!
With "Zusammen:Halt!" as the current motto, the festival wants to unite against hate and extremism by bringing everyone together. The Tollwood Summer Festival offers a wide range of activities for attendees to enjoy, from organic food and handicrafts in the Market of Ideas to theatrical performances, children’s events, art exhibitions and live music.
The Market of Ideas, which brings together culinary delights and artisan handicrafts, gives visitors the chance to sample fair trade food, drinks and handmade products from around the world. In addition, the festival’s offering of food, which stems from 50 different restaurants, has been 100 percent certified organic since 2003, saving 116 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
