Festival
German Cultural Day 2024

Family-friendly community event celebrating German culture

Sat, 04.05.2024
1:00 PM - 21:00 Goethe-Institut, Sydney

The German Cultural Day is back! Last year’s festival was an overwhelming success, with 3,500 people attending despite rainy weather. So we decided to do it again, inviting you all to spend a day celebrating German culture in all its diversity: a vibrant mix of food, drink, music, dance, language, information, and lots of activities for kids.

On Saturday the 4th of May 2024, let’s get together in-and-around our heritage building in the leafy Sydney suburb of Woollahra. The iconic piece of the Berlin Wall in the park forms the perfect backdrop for a vital assembly of live bands and artists, market stalls and vendors, food trucks and mobile bars, kids activities and many other fun things to do.
 

 
This year’s program will feature Berlin techno act Andi A, German Film Festival special guest Andreas Dresen, Brisbane’s cowbell quartet Alpenrosen, Berlin violin virtuoso Daniel Weltlinger, the German International School’s GISS Choir, traditional Schuhplattlerl hit St Raphael’s Dancers, singer-songwriter Dominik Lack, our Kids’ Singing Group, wild Trivia Sessions with Kathrin, the roving-and-rolling Polka Kings duo, German trial lessons with Natalie, gipsy-jazz band Lolo Lovina, combi cult brand Volkswagen, Elsa’s wine-tasing extravaganza, a free photo booth for digital and printed pics, eco-friendly face-painting, a breathtaking fire performance, our German-language Kinderparadies, gummy-bear originals Haribo, a book and craft corner by Woollahra Council Library, our German Cultural Day branded T-shirt merch table, as well as a broad range of food and drinks stalls, and, last but not least… our very own Beste Bier Bar offering a variety of German beers on tap... Surely, there's something in there for you?
