Photo Highlights & Open Call for Artists

The sails are furled, and the deck still warm from all the dancing feet. In the cabins of our ship, the crew sits together, joyfully recalling the sparkling hours of our raucous celebration. Snippets of images flicker across an ancient slide projector, setting the anecdotes in motion. Beneath it all lies the soft murmur of songs and chants, still echoing between the planks. Even now, what was once reality already seems like a dream.

A Look Through the Photo Kaleidoscope

Sometimes we wish we had three extra heads and eight more eyes to take in everything happening at the Bucht. But honestly: without our photo team, we wouldn’t have the slightest idea how amazing so many of these moments really were. They raced tirelessly across the grounds, capturing scenes we would never have seen ourselves, preserving the festival for all of us. We are endlessly grateful for this treasure trove of colorful memories that amazes us year after year.

If you feel like surfing through those memories: Here’s the link to the photo recap!
