Das diesjährige Baumblütenfest in Werder stellt die Organisatoren vor enorme finanzielle Herausforderungen. Mit hohen Ausgaben und wenig Einnahmen stehen sie nun vor der schwierigen Aufgabe, das Fest zu evaluieren und Lösungen für die finanzielle Misere zu finden.

This year's tree blossom festival in Werder presents the organizers with enormous financial challenges. With high expenses and few income, they are now faced with the difficult task of evaluating the festival and finding solutions to the financial misery.

The processing of the festival began with a detailed evaluation in which all editions and income were examined exactly. It became clear that the costs for the event were significantly higher than expected. For example, high sums had to be invested for safety precautions and the rent of additional areas.

At the same time, the income remained behind the expectations. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that, due to the corona pandemic, fewer visitors visited the festival. In addition, many stands and stalls could not be operated as planned due to the security measures.

Because of this financial difficulty, the organizers had to make savings. For example, the musical entertainment was saved and the hospitality of the guests was also calculated. However, these measures are not sufficient to compensate for the losses.

Now the question is in the room who knew when and when. Even before the festival, there was criticism of the high expenses and some unprofitable investments. But how much did the city administration know and why were no countermeasures taken?

The public processing of the festival has already led to a violent exchange of blows between those responsible. While some emphasize that the financial difficulties were expected from the start, others of the city administration accuse a lack of communication and loss of control.

The next steps are now to identify the exact causes of the financial problems and to develop strategies in order to avoid such situations in the future. Above all, there is a value on transparent and effective communication between the organizers and the administration.

This year's tree blossom festival in Werder clearly shows that popular events can also face major financial challenges. The establishment of the festival and the search for solutions will take some time. But in the end there is hope that the festival will be successful and financially portable in the future.
