Burgkirchengelände as Festival Venue

The venue is the Burgkirchengelände in Ober-Ingelheim (Erzberger Straße 34) – a historic area around the Romanesque Burgkirche with its 14th-century defensive wall. The stage, stalls, and audience are spread across the park-like grounds in the shade of the old walls.

Folk Culture with Political Tradition

The Eurofolkfestival is more than just a music festival. With its long tradition, its volunteer-led organizing association, and its programmatic mix of tradition, world music, and reflective songwriting, it embodies the spirit of the German folk movement of the 1970s and 1980s – developed for contemporary times.
