Folk in an Industrial Setting
The former Bremer Wollkämmerei (BWK) in Blumenthal was once one of the largest of its kind in Europe. Today, the Kämmerei-Quartier, with its impressive Wilhelminian-era brick architecture, is a vibrant place – and once a year, it becomes the stage for Folk im Kämmerei-Quartier. In front of the monumental industrial backdrop, bands play Irish and Celtic folk, danceable and rousing, over three days from Friday to Sunday. It's a festival with hearty sounds, traditional melodies, and plenty of pub atmosphere.
Three Days of Music and Market
The festival kicks off on Friday evening, followed by packed program days on Saturday and Sunday with changing bands – in past years, for example, Stew n Haggis, One More Pint, La Kejoca, or Tales of Nebelheym. Parallel to this, the Blumenthaler MarktTach takes place: Around 45 dedicated exhibitors present handmade art, creative design, floristry, fashion, and beautiful items for home and garden. From Saturday 4 PM to 7 PM and Sunday 12 PM to 5:30 PM, live music combines with an atmospheric market.
Emerged from Folk im Park
The weekend is organized by the Bürgerstiftung Blumenthal together with Rainer Wendelken from the former Folk im Park, whose tradition lives on here. Since 2024, the folk festival and MarktTach have been held together in the Kämmerei-Quartier. Admission is free, allowing families, neighbors, and folk fans from all over Bremen's north to come together – a community festival with cultural appeal.
- When: three days in August, Friday to Sunday
- Where: Kämmerei-Quartier (former Bremer Wollkämmerei), Bremen-Blumenthal
- Music: Irish and Celtic Folk against a Wilhelminian-era brick backdrop
- Market: Blumenthaler MarktTach with around 45 exhibitors, free admission
Industrial Culture in Bremen's North
Blumenthal and its Wollkämmerei represent a piece of Hanseatic industrial history in the state of Bremen. The festival makes this heritage tangible, filling the historic quarter at the mouth of the Weser with music, crafts, and encounters – easily accessible from Bremen's north by bus and train.
