Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
The Elbhangfest (literally "Elbe Slope Festival") showcases Dresden's riverside communities and traditions, including local orchestras, church ceremonies, and community choirs. It is organized by a volunteer association to keep the community spirit alive after German reunification. It involves many local venues (churches, gardens, halls) and highlights the heritage of the vineyard churches along the Elbe.
