Those of you who live in or regularly visit Berlin know how attractive the city is in summer and are familiar with the variety of music and culture. Festival and club culture is a big part of the city and plays a big role, even in politics! An ever-growing part of this cultural sector is being lost, especially non-commercial and unconventional institutions that are self-financing.
We asked our wholesale expert & festival guru Guido as well as our marketing manager & dancer extraordinaire Justin for their personal favourites and it was worth it! We present four alternative festivals in the Berlin area that might inspire you:
Nation of Gondwana (19-21.07.24 in Grünefeld, Brandenburg): Located on a lake in Havelland, surrounded by pine trees, the festival is celebrating its 30th edition this year. Since 1999, it has been inviting all techno, electro and house enthusiasts to celebrate together and is working on making the site more accessible.
WHOLE Festival (2-5.08.24 in Ferropolis, City of Iron, near Gräfenhainichen): Nestled in a lakeside industrial park a few hours outside of Berlin, WHOLE Festival seeks to connect queer collectives from all over the globe under one banner of creativity, passion, pleasure, and above all, good music – techno, house, disco, bass, and everything in between!
Bucht der Träumer (15-18.08.24 near Halensee, Frankfurt (Oder)): The former crew of Rummels Bucht organises this festival and offers a varied programme of music, dance & theatre. Under this year’s motto ‘Love Conquers Hate’, they are also politically committed to solidarity and tolerance beyond the dance floor.
Mystic Creatures (6-9.09.24): Far out in the woods, surrounded by a large lake, there is an island in Poland where a small festival has been taking place for several years, enchanting its visitors and taking them on a spiritual journey. An absolute insider tip for the dreamers among you!
Whether you are at an outdoor festival, on holiday at the beach, on your balcony, in the park or simply walking to work – throughout the summer, skincare becomes synonymous with suncare, as protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is paramount. Various products with varying SPF levels, such as sunscreens, sun oils and sun sprays, are essential for shielding both the face and body. Tinted sunscreens furthermore offer a dual benefit by combining makeup and skincare, providing coverage while ensuring sun protection. Opting for natural and certified suncare products is crucial, as they are formulated with ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to offer broad-spectrum protection without harming the skin unlike damaging chemicals found in most conventional sunscreens. Natural suncare products often include nourishing elements such as aloe vera, green tea extract, and vitamin E to boost, hydrate and restore the skin while protecting it. Aloe vera is known for its soothing and moisturising properties, helping to calm sun-exposed skin. Green tea extract is rich in antioxidants, protecting the skin from free radicals and reducing inflammation caused by sun exposure. Vitamin E supports skin health by enhancing the skin’s natural barrier and promoting healing.
Additionally, certified natural suncare products ensure that you are not only protecting your skin but also caring for your body and the environment in a holistic way. The products at Amazingy are free from animal cruelty, synthetic fragrances, parabens, and other potentially irritating chemicals, plus they’re mostly vegan, making them suitable for sensitive skin. By incorporating a variety of these protective and nurturing products into your summer skincare routine, you can maintain healthy, radiant & protected skin while enjoying the sunny days with peace of mind and a clear conscience.
