Summer Festival of the Initiatives Bachpaten Freiburg and Freiburg Packs It Up 2026: An Evening Full of Appreciation in Freiburg

A Summer Festival for Freiburg's Quiet Heroes

This summer festival shines a spotlight on what truly holds a city together: engagement, waterway care, biodiversity, and lived community. The initiatives Bachpaten Freiburg and Freiburg Packs It Up invite on July 9, 2026, to thank their many committed supporters - right in the fresh air, at the Haslacher Dorfbach behind the Haslach indoor pool.

Community that Shapes Freiburg

For many years, thousands of people have contributed to caring for and enhancing public green spaces, playgrounds, and waterways in the city. Freiburg Packs It Up has represented urban nature, encounters, and participation since 2004; the Bachpaten Freiburg have been overseeing water sections for over 30 years, combining practical care with environmental education. This unique combination gives the summer festival its special character. ([freiburg.de](https://www.freiburg.de/pb/2433301.html))

A Festival of Appreciation Rather than Stage Noise

This event is not about grand show effects but rather about the genuine community feeling. Mayor Martin Haag will present awards to representative active members, while drinks and food are provided. This creates a compact yet emotionally rich multi-day feeling in a small setting - with exchange, recognition, and the atmosphere of a well-established Freiburg engagement network.
