KOSMOS Chemnitz

Location

entrance free of charge

KOSMOS is an absolutely extraordinary festival. The locations of the festival are, the density and diversity of the events are, the organisation even more so. And even its own claim to be a festival for democracy is. KOSMOS was created as a reaction to the right-wing demonstrations in August 2018.

Initially launched as a #wirsindmehr concert in the city centre organised in just a few days (with 65,000 spontaneous visitors), a big idea developed over the following years: associations, initiatives, companies, institutions and private individuals from all walks of life joined forces to create an urban city centre festival with dozens of stages, crowded streets and beaming faces. The KOSMOS team provides the platform and the infrastructure. The people of Chemnitz and Europe create the content. KOSMOS is therefore anything but ordinary: discussion rounds in a bus stop, basketball at a crossroads, bands in retail outlets, readings in launderettes - when Chemnitz sparkles, it's KOSMOS.
