Good music and a good mood: the concept of the Ebersberg cultural summer works.
Those who like to party will meet in the monastery building yard until Sunday to finally experience that party feeling around the fire bowl again.
Ebersberg
- Anyone who has ever been to the Caribbean knows that time is more relaxed there.
The time for an appointment, for example, is usually meant rather vaguely, i.e. roughly.
Perhaps that is the reason why at this year's extra edition of the culture fire in the Ebersberger Klosterbauhof the performances of the evening bands are not specified with times, at least not on the website of the organizer.
There it only says that the beer garden opens daily at 6 p.m.
Beer garden atmosphere under palm trees
They promise “magical Caribbean flair.” And when does the band play now?
"I guess at 8 pm," says a woman with a look at her watch.
It is 7.40 p.m.
But even at 8 p.m. the big stage remains empty.
The in-house technician says the concert will start around 8.45 p.m.
Well, meanwhile you can enjoy it on the mild summer night.
There are stalls and beer garden furniture.
Somehow a typical Bavarian beer garden atmosphere prevails in the monastery building yard.
If it weren't for the palm trees that decorated the venerable courtyard - later also colorful illumination - and loud light music from the tape.
The plentiful guests seem to feel comfortable.
You chat, eat and drink in a relaxed manner.
Party atmosphere around the fire bowl
In the middle of the square is the fire bowl that gives the culture fire its name.
However, no flames can be seen there.
It is still too bright for the culture fire.
Shortly before 9 p.m. the band actually takes the podium.
Today it's Takeshi's Cashew, a cosmofunk group from Vienna, announced with world music and psychedelia of the 70s.
The fire is now also burning.
The mood is slowly emerging.
Many bodies take over the beat of the music.
There is a club atmosphere, you could also say a festival atmosphere.
You can hardly see masks.
Why should it? There is no mask requirement when sitting or standing.
Only when walking around is it compulsory to wear a face-to-face mask.
The pandemic seems far.
Ban on dancing?
no idea
The people are in a celebratory mood. Young people stand together in large groups. You toast yourself. One beer after the other goes over the counter. The yard is well filled. Little by little, some even get up and begin to dance. “Isn't there a ban on dancing?” Asks one. “No,” replies another.
Nobody knows exactly which Corona rules now apply.
You had to register at the entrance, but that quickly seems to be forgotten.
The party people enjoy the evening casually.
The picture is no different from what you know from the Kulturfeuer, which actually only takes place every two years.
This year is an exception, because the old cinema, like all cultural institutions, was closed for a long time due to the Corona crisis.
And since it was more likely that people would be able to get together again faster outdoors than indoors, Managing Director Markus Bachmeier decided to put on a special edition of the Kulturfeu this summer, which, by the way, is part of this year's cultural summer.
The temporary beer garden is open every day until Sunday and offers further free open-air events.
