Struggle persists among festival organizers, with the event facing potential termination; organizer expresses deep emotional investment, saying, "My entire heart is in it."
The Sinnflut Festival in the charming Bavarian town of Erding once again proved its resilience and popularity, marking its 31st year with a successful event despite the challenges of rainy weather and the departure of one of its organisers.
Peter Feller, one of the organisers of the festival, announced his withdrawal this year. However, his spirit and dedication will continue to be felt as he will remain available as a consultant for the festival. Börnie Sparakowski, the other organiser, expressed his desire to continue with the festival, stating, "This is where my heart and soul is, it keeps me young."
The last evening of the festival featured the cover band Ois live, and the organisers were grateful for the fans and visitors who did not let the rain deter them. The unanimous opinion among traders after the festival ended was that they will return next year.
Wolfgang Krönauer from the namesake café tent has been a part of the festival for over 20 years and appreciates the peaceful nature of the event. Václa Fiser, a trader from the Czech Republic, has been selling ceramics at the festival for 15 years and makes pottery specifically for the event each day for 16 hours.
Despite the rain, the Erdingers still attended the festival in large numbers. Sparakowski also praised the communication with the city of Erding, stating it was very good from the preparation to the end of the festival.
Regarding the succession of Peter Feller, Sparakowski is optimistic but emphasizes that there are still many open questions on both sides. Unfortunately, there is no publicly available information about specific potential successors for Feller.
The editors from the Merkur distribution area report daily from their regions, and they noted that traders and caterers were enthusiastic about the Sinnflut Festival despite eleven rainy days. Only two open-air events had to be canceled due to the weather.
