But the organization team doesn't give up.
Poing - 50 market stalls, three stages with a lot of live music and lots of programs on and next to the main street: That was the Poing Street Festival in 2019. As every year, a good 10,000 visitors came to the main street, the longest party mile and wide.
As in 2020, it will remain closed this year due to the corona pandemic.

“It's April,” says the organizing team's spokesman.
Normally, the preparations would have to be in full swing, bands and stand operators had to be informed and booked.

After 2020, the organizing team canceled the street festival for this year as well.

Then we'll have a big party next year ”, Peter Keegan looks optimistically to the future.

Street Festival Poing: Organization on a voluntary basis
The street festival is organized by the municipality of Poing, which has supported the voluntary organization team from the start. Also on board is the consortium of developers and investors (ARGE) "Am Bergfeld". Live music, food and drink stalls as well as various promotions and offers, especially for children and families, have made the Poingen Street Festival a very large and very popular event. This should continue even after a two-year corona break, says Peter Keegan. The organization team wants and will continue.
