The Fräulein Culture Guide for June

Go to 48 STUNDEN NEUKÖLLN around Berlin

“Stay at home, we’ll bring the art to you.” 48 STUNDEN NEUKÖLLN, Berlin’s largest free art festival, will take place this year from June 19 to 21, 2020, primarily digitally.

Escape the city and visit Sanssouci Park

Also known as the Versaille of Berlin, Sanssouci Park is the perfect spot to go on a summer day over the weekend and one of the popular attractions for anyone visiting Potsdam. Only 26 kilometers from Berlin. With many magnificent palaces and landscapes in Potsdam, many visiting Sanssouci Park should take advantage of all it has to give.

A mid-19th century jewel of rococo architecture and garden art, Sanssouci Park was designed, in part, by Frederick the Great and created by the leading artists of his time.

Listen and watch the Fête de la Musique 2020 at various location

21th June

On June 21st the worldwide celebration of music and music-making should not be ignored. Fête de la Musique 2020 invites all artists, musicians, and music-maker (amateur or pro) to a Fête de la Haus-Musique. Fans are urged to make music at home: on the sofa, on the balcony, or in the shower in the digital realm. The idea is a concept that waves a banner for creativity and joy that pours out of us when we hear – and make – good music. Until the Fete happens audiences will be presented with on-going live streams from their partners on their website. On the day there will be a wide range of new streams available on the website and between 5 pm to 6 pm, there will be a singalong-highlight.
