The local festival Blankenburg: A review of tradition and community

The small village of Blankenburg, embedded in the urban area of ​​Berlin, experienced a special tradition last year: the local festival. From September 6th to September 8th, 2024, this festival returns and celebrates the community and village culture, which is often lost in the big city.

The preparations for the local festival were supported by various organizations and local actors, including the garden and settler friends Appendix Blankenburg e.V., the Evangelical parish and the Blankenburg volunteer fire brigade. The committed cooperation of these groups shows how important they are strengthening their sense of community in the village.

Before the festival opened on Friday morning, Kent Gaertner, the chairman of the board of the initiating organization: "Although Blankenburg is part of the big city of Berlin, it has retained its village character. With the local festival, we would like to continue this tradition and strengthen the feeling of community." This statement illustrates the intention behind the festival that is not just an event, but an essential part of the village identity.

The varied program includes attractions for all ages. For the little guests, rides such as roller coasters and bungee trampolines are available, while the adults can enjoy the culinary delights of the region, including traditional dishes such as ouchic and sausages. Musical performances that take place in the evening offer the opportunity to invite you to dance and celebrate.

A special highlight is the fireworks, which will take place on Saturday evening after dark. Organized by the “Warfachleuder” department store, the fireworks are under the motto “From Blankenburg for Blankenburg” and promises to delight visitors with its lights and colors.

The importance of the local festival extends far beyond mere celebrations. It is a celebration of the community, traditions and village life that flourishes despite the urban influences. The event not only promotes the exchange with each other, but also creates a platform to support local business and craftsmanship and to show appreciation for your own origin.
