About Frie:Da Schleswig

Frie:Da is the annual street culture festival of Schleswig's Friedrichsberg district. On Friedrichsberg Market Square and along Friedrichstraße, squares and sidewalks transform into an open stage for a weekend: street art, concerts, a flea market, local associations, and gastronomic stands signal cultural diversity, social cohesion, and lived dialogue. Frie:Da is organized by the City of Schleswig, funded by the Partnership for Democracy Schleswig-Flensburg and the Amadeu Antonio Foundation. Free event for all ages.

Friedrichsberg Meets Street Culture

Friedrichsberg is one of the most vibrant districts in Schleswig, the historic town on the Schlei fjord in the north of the state of Schleswig-Holstein. Located directly south of the old town, Friedrichsberg is a diverse neighborhood with a long tradition as a market, craft, and residential area. The Frie:Da festival aims to make this diversity visible.

What to Expect

Frie:Da combines classic neighborhood festival elements with distinct cultural-political accents:

  • Street Art — Performances, acrobatics, music open air on Friedrichsberg Market Square
  • Flea Market along Friedrichstraße — Registration via the City of Schleswig (email [email protected])
  • Stands of local associations and initiatives — Education, democracy, inclusion
  • Concerts and stage program — from singer-songwriters to bands from Schleswig and the surrounding area
  • Gastronomy with international and North German specialties
  • Family activities and hands-on workshops

Cultural-Political Mission

The festival is explicitly designed as a contribution to dialogue and democracy. Frie:Da is funded by the Partnership for Democracy Schleswig-Flensburg (Federal program 'Democracy Live!') and the Amadeu Antonio Foundation. The message: cultural diversity, social cohesion, and lived dialogue belong on the street — and on the market square.

Baltic Cultural Pearl Year 2026

In 2026, Frie:Da will also serve as the opening event for the 'Baltic Cultural Pearl Year 2026' — a themed year focusing on the cultural connections around the Baltic Sea.
