Meeting Point: Protected content

Every year on the second weekend in July, the International
Samba-Festival in Coburg attracts around 180.000 visitors to the
picturesque Franconian town. What once began with a few thousand
visitors is the biggest Samba-Festival outside Brazil today.

The “Coburg Cabana” is a mixture of street samba and large stages, of
drum and dance acts. The Samba-Festival is primarily a
meeting place for European samba schools and blocos. It stands for joie
de vivre, tolerance, peace, as well as musical and cultural diversity.

Pack personal items in bags that are as small as possible. Drinks up to
a maximum of 0.5l per container (no glass, no cans) are permitted.

It is pretty loud, so please bring ear protection if you are sensitive
to Samba drums

We will first go to the big stage on Protected content and eat, and then explore the various festival sites.

Should the weather be cold and rainy, I will cancel this event.

Ticket for Saturday costs 36 Euro
We will buy the tickets there
