Festivals are at the heart of community life: they bring generations together and tell stories of change, hope, and belonging. In Weil am Rhein, too, people celebrate in small circles, on streets and in squares, and even across borders. The exhibition showcases the diversity of local festival culture—from family celebrations to large-scale events. Many festivals are rooted in religious or agricultural traditions and have a fixed place in the annual calendar, such as the Alemannic Fasnacht. At the same time, they reflect social developments and raise questions: Who celebrates, where, and how?
