Festival of cultures in Chorweiler: A colorful spectacle on Pariser Platz!
The festival of cultures in Chorweiler is celebrated on Sunday, June 15th, on Pariser Platz and promises a colorful spectacle with over 30 clubs involved, institutions and facilities. The residents can look forward to numerous stands that offer typical specialties and various activities. From the presentation of the projects to games to offers that reflect the heart of the quarter, there is something for everyone. There is also a resident flea market, where there can be some bargains, and the opportunity to get rare treasures, such as [Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger] (https://www.ksta.de/koeln/chorweiler-veedel/fest-der-kulturen-in-chorweiler- Vielifeliges-platz-1041391) reported.
The festival will be opened at 11 a.m. by district mayor Reinhard Zöllner, who in his speech is also reminiscent of the 50th anniversary of the Chorweiler district council. A fanfare train, consisting of the Merkenich musketers, introduces the stage program. In addition to Hungarian folk dances, visitors can look forward to either an Indian dance group or a appearance of rap and hip hop artists. A very special highlight of the festival will be the appearance of Marie Enganemben, a gospel singer from Cameroon. The end of the festival is the Chorweiler evening peace, which is led by the New Apostolic community.a festival for all generations
This year, the festival is not only enriched by cultural performances, but also by the election to the Advisory Board of the Chorweiler Citizens' Center. Ten candidates introduce themselves to the residents who are entitled to vote from the age of 16. At the stand of the civil center, the votes can be submitted. This is an excellent opportunity that the citizens will receive a say in the program design of the citizens' center, as well as yahoo news.
The district council even provided 4,000 euros from district's own funds for the festival. Prominent politician faces such as Inan Gökpinar (SPD) and Wilfried Neumann (CDU) are also on site and show their commitment to the local community. The festival of cultures has been organized by the community center for 39 years and is therefore an integral part of the three-day district festival in Chorweiler-Mitte. The fun fair on the Liverpooler Platz and the resident flea market on the Lyon Passage complement the celebrations, so that everything is really required that your heart desires!
colorful variety and creative impulses
The variety of participating groups is remarkable. In addition to established clubs such as the Eritreig Kulturverein and the Ditib Mosque, new participants such as the GAG social team and the “Stark” citizen platform from Worringen are also shown. These cultural gatherings not only promote social cohesion, but are also important impulse providers for urban development. This underpins the study by Mag. Edgar Eller, which represents how cultural festivals can strengthen the quality of stay and identity of a district in smaller cities, as [Stadtmarketing] (https://www.stadtmarketing.eu/stadtentwicklung- DETE- DECHNODE- Kulturfestivals/) emphasizes.
At the festival, not only the cultural diversity is celebrated, but also strengthened cohesion within the community. Whether when enjoying sesame rings and baklava, which are offered by the NAR association, or when visiting the puppet theater - there is something for everyone, and it remains to be hoped that this festival will help to show and promote the identity -creating potential of Chorweiler.
