Bonn’s government district
Democracy Music Festival
We celebrate 75 years of federal German democracy together – there, where it all began, in Bonn’s government district. There will be short, eclectic concerts and talks at several historical democratic locations throughout the day – put your own programme together! Each event is under the theme of an article from Germany’s Basic Law. Even a spontaneous visit is worth it: Around the Platz der Vereinten Nationen, there are pop-up concerts, a sound installation and performance art to discover.
Families are cordially invited to the Bonner Universiätsforum for a family day of democracy with live music and interactive events – free of charge.

- Duration of all concerts: 60 minutes
