The street art festival should be international and diverse. That's why more and more artists from abroad are now applying to perform in Neckarstadt. The organisers are pleased: the festival stages now stretch from Bahnhofstrasse to Küferstrasse. From early afternoon until the evening, the artists take turns at the various venues in the town centre.


The STRAKU maker
Philipp Falser is chairman of Netzwerk Kultur Esslingen and initiator of numerous cultural festivals. He is the founder of Schauspiel KUNSTDRUCK e.V. and artistic director of the Kunstdruck CentralTheater. His idea was to provide a stage for young artists in Esslingen. The concept was convincing. We'll be showing magic, music and juggling," says Falser, who, together with his team of organisers, is making sure that everything runs like clockwork.
With our colourful programme, we bring joy to people, Philipp Falser is convinced. It's so nice to see how the audience enthusiastically joins in with the artists.
