Summer
Breeze

Between the banks of the Main
and the old crane

Our second weekend at WESTCOAST is the Summer Breeze, for which it is finally time after all the rain: the open-air cinema shows “Sun and Concrete” in a sculptural and cinematic way in front of the harbour crane, the workshop with the German Museum of Architecture inspires our creative offspring and the working world of tomorrow, the wine tasting served from barrels with Ebb & Flow Keg is probably the most sustainable for taste and (packaging) resources – and the electronic picnic with EOS Radio takes us from noon into the early Saturday night. Around these programmatic keywords, we want to surrender to the flow of time under sun sails and with cold drinks in our hands. We look forward to seeing you.

Sun and concrete | Open-air cinema

The book adaptation of Felix Lobrecht’s coming-of-age and crime film “Sun and Concrete” is a rousing, suspenseful flick that becomes a great cinematic experience on the big screen between the harbour crane and the banks of the Main. Admission is from 7.30 pm.

WESTCOAST Bar with cold drinks and delicious culinary delights on site. Unfortunately there will be no box office.

Workspaces | Children’s workshop of the German Architecture Museum

When does a cardboard box become a workplace? What does it depend on what a workplace looks like? What is important and what do we need to change to transform the brown, inconspicuous means of transport into a lively workplace of the future?

Wine-Tasting | Wine from barrels from Ebb & Flow Keg

In a special way – and a particularly sustainable one – are the wine tastings of Ebb & Flow Keg. Their organic and natural wines are not served in bottles, but tapped from barrels. The reusable system saves packaging material as well as around 40% CO₂ – and guarantees quality-preserving bottling.

Wine-Tastings:
2:00 – 2:45 PM
3:00 – 3:45 PM
4:00 – 4:45 PM
5:00 – 5:45 PM

Ticket prize: 10,00 €
