MainWeltmusik Festival 2023

MainWeltmusik Festival 2023 – Songs without borders connect nations – a musical festival of solidarity and worldwide understanding.
The international „MainWeltmusik” Festival is bringing together numerous dance and music groups from different countries of the world for 8 years. It is intended to promote the coexistence of people in the Rhine-Main area by offering the diversity of their own culture a platform that is independent of language, religion and nationality. Music is the only common language in the world because, unlike spoken language, the world of music knows no barriers of understanding; anyone who listens to a melody with an open heart understands what is being transmitted and is immersed in the world of the singer… Be there! Also this year it will be amazing and a cultural highlight in Offenbach.
