The Elbhangfestverein has to cancel the Elbhangfest 2023

In a vote held on 18 April 2023, the general meeting of the Elbhangfestverein voted against holding this year’s Elbhangfest.

Tickets or ribbons already purchased will retain their validity for the Elbhangfest 2024 or can be returned at the place of purchase in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions.
Visitors who bought their tickets at the Loschwitz Christmas Market can return them to the Elbhangfest office (Fidelio-F.-Finke-Straße 7) at specified times (information coming soon). Further advance sales have been stopped for the time being.

Twelve thousand tickets make the festival possible!

The low-priced early bird ticket for 18 euros is only available until 15 April 2023. As in the previous year, the association has to make the festival dependent on the success of this advance sale in order to have planning security: At least twelve thousand tickets must be sold by mid-April so that the festival can take place in 2023.

In case of failure, the purchase price will be refunded at the place of purchase.

Admission to events until midnight is permitted for young people aged 16 and over without the accompaniment of a person with parental authority. The Youth Protection Act (JuSchG) applies.

The Elbhangfest wristband

The Elbhangfest ticket is a tear-proof wristband. Only the closed band on the arm entitles the holder to admission. The wristband must be worn on the arm at all times according to its period of validity.

Please keep the festival ticket on your arm overnight!
