Aftermovie 2026

…like a fairytale

...it was an Âventiure in the sonic forest!

Under the motto "...like a fairytale", around 200 artists from over 20 nations brought musical audacity and fresh auditory impulses back to Moers this Whitsun! Our large open-air stage stood right in the centre of the Kastellplatz, while the festival continued to unfold across the surrounding venues.

We are still deeply moved and inspired by the incredible energy, the encounters, and the unforgettable concert moments. Thank you so much for bringing the fairytale of the "Jazz Festival for Little Red Riding Hood, clapping frogs, escapism, and: Âventiure" to life with us!

You were a fantastic audience!

See you next year!
