Elbhangfest (3)










Oops! Jan just told me this place isjust the beginning point of the festival, the music perfomance is far at the end. No wonder I find there's nothing here...

Elbhangfest, which is known far beyond the borders of Saxony, came into existence in 1991 in connection with an initiative to save two churches of cultural and historic value on the slope by the River Elbe.
The laying of the foundation stone for the reconstruction of Loschwitz church and the replacing of the restored spire ball to the Weinbergkirche (vineyard church) in Pillnitz formed the background for a public festival, which was entirely new for Dresden in terms both of its dimensions and its character – a combination of a street, village, art and culture festival.
The Elbhangfest has since been celebrated 12 times and, as the highlight of the month of June, has found a place in the hearts of the Dresdeners and their visitors.
