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.
