Non-governmental organizations and citizens working together for social change. - Around 50,000 people anticipated to attend the "Kosmos" democracy event.
The festival entry is free of charge. Kosmos aims to convey a sense of togetherness and support democracy, as per co-organizer Ernesto Uhlmann. This initiative stems from the 2018 concert #wirsindmehr, which was organized as a response to right-wing riots in the city. The festival is also slated as a key feature for the Cultural Capital Year 2025.
Motorists are advised to anticipate road closures, traffic disruptions, and parking limitations on Saturday close to the Schlossteich area. The city of Chemnitz encourages using public transportation for traveling to and from the event; parking spaces will be set aside for visitors from outside the city.
