With this special event, we want to bring people from different nations together to celebrate and showcase the diversity of our universities and the city of Magdeburg.
Immerse yourself in a colorful world of traditional dances, songs and delicious dishes. Let yourself be enchanted by the colorful traditional costumes and rousing live music. For our younger guests, there is an exciting children's program that is guaranteed to provide fun and entertainment.
The queer community is another important part of our cultural mosaic. A special highlight of the day is the performance by the queer rock band Spezi im Glas.
