a festival for all

The volcansummer cultural festival is a real shop window of cultural creativity in Vogelsberg. The varied program ranges from exhibitions and lectures to theater performances and musical events. There is something for every taste-also for the little discoverers among us, because children's and youth projects are particularly welcome, as volkansommer.de shows.

Cultural associations, artists and also municipalities can still apply for grants for their own events. Applications must be submitted by April 17. Detailed information and application forms can be found on the website Vogelsbergkreis.de or directly at the Kulturförderung Vogelsberg e.V ..

In summary, one can say: There is a lot of creative events in the air! The volcanic summer 2025 promises to become a festival of cultural diversity that should not be missed.
