Rescue for the Breminale: This is how you can support the festival!

Rescue for the Breminale: This is how you can support the festival!

The Breminals, Bremen's popular entrance-free music and cultural festival, faces major challenges. In view of the increasing costs and the still limited income, which are caused by freedom of admission, the festival must rely on creative financing strategies. Stadtmagazin-bremen.de reports that donations are essential for the financing of the Breminals. This is where the so -called soldickets come into play, which are available in four different price categories and symbolically contribute to the support of the festival.

The Breminals pursues the basic principle of solidarity, which means that everyone can provide their part to support without having to pay for admission. In addition, individual donations via PayPal are possible, even if nobody receives donation certificates. If you want to go deeper into the matter, you can contact Soli@breminale.de by email to discuss further options. The on -site gastronomy also contributes significantly to the revenue of the festival.

The offer and the support

A fresh highlight this year is the "Breminale Spritz", a special liqueur that was developed in collaboration with the NORK team. Based on a raspberry-rosmarine liqueur, five euros flow to the Breminals and per served drink 0.50 euros per bottle sold. The drinks are already available in numerous local bars and are served on beer wagons and at the NORK stand during the festival. This initiative shows how versatile the support offers are and offers visitors a tasty way to do something good. Details can also be found at the Breminale-festival.de/support.

The festival has experienced significant financial challenges in recent years, which have been reinforced by Corona pandemic. Price increases up to 50 % in different areas and increased wages are public issues that everyone should take note of. The funding from Corona aid programs could cover the additional costs from 2021 to 2023, but these have not been available since 2024. Data show that the total volume of the festival from around 650,000 euros in 2018 rose to up to 1,000,000 euros in 2023, which impressively illustrates the need for extended financing methods. [wfb-bremen.de] (https://www.wfb-bremen.de/de/page/marketing/kultur-und-sport event foerung) emphasizes that gastronomic sales and urban funding, including 125,000 euros from the Senator for Culture, are essential sources of income.

Nevertheless, the festival must also fight structural costs that have been skyrocketed since pandemic. The promotion of the Senator for Culture in 2024 was doubled to alleviate the financial difficulties.

where does the path lead?

It remains to be seen how the situation is developing. A fencing of the festival area, which was considered to better control the income, could significantly change the atmosphere of the festival and thus endanger the character of the Breminals. Such considerations often affect critical voices from the community that want to preserve the original spirit of the event. The Breminale is more than just a festival; It symbolizes the gathering of people in Bremen and should continue to do so in the future.

If you want to support the Breminale, be it by buying a soliticket or a delicious "Breminale Spritz", you know that every little help counts. Together for culture, together for Bremen - that is the motto of the Breminale!
