The Wickmann Festival was born out of a collective ambition to create an outlet for local artists who had lost numerous gigs due to the coronavirus pandemic. A dedicated team worked tirelessly to realize this vision in only three weeks.
Initially situated in a sprawling green area, with horses grazing nearby, it has grown substantially over the past four years! During its first two years, there was just one stage; however, they received help from local authorities, sponsors, and generous audio technicians - when all these pieces came together, their dream became a reality!
To cement its position as a celebrated cultural event in the area, this small festival persevered through challenging circumstances and still managed to draw large crowds. Through word of mouth and the passage of time, it quickly evolved from one stage with local artists to several stages hosting internationally renowned acts. Each year since then has been marked by astounding growth for what began as an extraordinary historical moment—a humble gathering that inspired many people throughout the years.
Take the opportunity to experience world music, support local artists, and embrace cultural joy at Wickmann Festival this July 27-29th, 2023. Enjoy extraordinary performances by Academy, Baskery, Kajsa Vala, Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage, Dissing & Las, Alex Nyborg, Madsen Acof, Gwenifer Raymond, and many more! It's an event that should be noticed!
