51. Open Ohr Festival

In the organizer's words:

Over 40 years - and not a bit quiet! The OPEN OHR Festival has been transforming the Mainz Citadel into a large festival area every Whitsun since 1975. And becomes a meeting place for children, young people, adults and families. In short: for friends of non-commercial youth culture.

The Office for Youth and Family of the City of Mainz and a voluntary independent project group organize the festival, which has a different theme each year. And it goes down well.

More than 10,000 visitors take the opportunity to engage intensively with current political issues over the four days. The OPEN OHR Festival in Mainz has a reputation as a unique example of successful youth cultural work in Germany.

A variety of themed events from the fields of cabaret, music, theater and film are joined by panels, workshops and activities. A daily children's program allows parents to take part in forums undisturbed.
