Summer party

In July 2023, friends and supporters of Heidelberger Frühling came together for the summer party at the Kulturbrauerei in summery temperatures and a great atmosphere. This celebration offers the opportunity to let the festival season fade away among like-minded people, with nice conversations and a glass of wine.
