Stadtpicnic: New series of events invites you to favourite places
Date: Sunday, 5 July 2015, 11 a.m. Küchwaldwiese - Favourite places campaign starts
On Sunday, 5 July 2015, the first Stadtpicnic will take place - a new event format under the umbrella of the city marketing campaign "The city is me". Chemnitz associations, projects and personalities invite you to their favourite places to chat, experience something or simply relax together. The first city picnic will be organised by the Slackwerk e. V. association and musician Felde from Spinnerei Chemnitz. They are hoping for picnic weather from 11 a.m. and invite you to the Küchwaldwiese in front of the Cosmonaut Centre.
Benjamin Jahn is the chairman of the organisation, which has only been in existence for just under a year:
"We want to bring the sport closer to children, young people and adults, as most of today's children and young people grow up far too much with electronics. That's why we decided to support the first city picnic with slackline courses."
Frank Schönfeld, who is known as Felde von der Spinnerei e. V. Chemnitz and regularly gets visitors dancing at the Treibsand event series, will provide the right background music for the picnic: "I'm taking part in the Stadtpicnic because I'm delighted that Chemnitz is alive and very happy to do my bit. The networking is great. We are also involved. The Küchwaldwiese is a beautiful oasis. It's nice when it comes alive with activities from time to time."
"The Stadtpicnic should be an opportunity to meet other Chemnitz residents in a relaxed atmosphere. And the Stadtpicnic should be a platform for clubs and partners to showcase their passions. They themselves are the best proof of how diverse, exciting and creative Chemnitz is. We want to showcase this potential with the event under the umbrella of City Marketing," explains Katja Uhlemann, Head of Communications, Marketing and Policy Issues / Press Spokesperson for the City of Chemnitz.
There will be three more City Picnics in July, August and September.
About the campaign:
Since March 2014, the city marketing campaign has been advertising under the title "The city is me" and uses various activities to show how many endearing, interesting and creative things there are in the city. The centrepiece of the campaign is the homepage www.die-stadt-bin-ich.de, where you can read articles about the maker of the week, confessions, a photo blog, editorial articles, event information such as Rock am Kopp and information on further steps for the new marketing and communication concept of the city of Chemnitz.
Since June 2015, the city marketing campaign has also extended beyond the city limits. The message "Unfold yourself!" is aimed at young people who are looking for space for their ideas or to start their careers. Who want to found, build, dream and realise something. In short, the city says: #CHEMNITZWILLDICH.
