Kunstfestival Tenever

In the organizer's words:

Tenever Art Festival enters its second round

After last year's great success, the Tenever Art Festival is going into its second round! On Friday, September 5 and Saturday, September 6, 2025, the market square in Bremen-Tenever will once again be transformed into an open stage, a lively studio and a place for encounters, movement and creative self-awareness - in the middle of the district and for everyone!

What makes the festival special? It brings art, culture and the scene directly to the neighborhood - free of charge, accessible and participatory. Visitors can expect an interdisciplinary program with Afro dance, screen printing, sewing, street art, performances and an all-style dance battle, in which dancers from the district as well as national participants compete.
