When the Mandelring becomes a festival mile: Always on Ascension Day, it's time to stroll and enjoy on the "Balcony of the Palatinate" in Neustadt-Haardt.

With the sea of vines at your feet and the panoramic view of the Rhine plain in front of your eyes, the festival reaches its climax on Father’s Day with a wheelbarrow race: with the lively participation of the numerous spectators, the teams try to bring the wheelbarrow loaded with a bucket of water to the finish line as quickly as possible and without losing water. The winning team will be weighed in wine. In idyllic, vine-covered wineries there are not only top wines, but also the well-known Haardter Liptauer or "Kartoffelsupp mit Dampnudel" and on Mondays a hangover meal: pickled "Hering mit Gequellte".

Organizer:
Ortsverwaltung Haardt

As part of the one-year format "Genius Loci", the Kunstverein Ludwigshafen 2025 is devoting itself to a critical examination of linear national narratives through the appropriation of historical locations, objects and collections. The title of "Genius Loci" refers to the literary work of the same name by Vernon Lee (Violet Page) from 1899. Lee, who published under a male pseudonym, forms the conceptual starting point of the format with her preoccupation with the concept of "genius loci", i.e. the essence and atmosphere of a place. With "Genius Loci: Notes on Places", Lee succeeded in renegotiating the anachronistic spirit of historical places.

"Rock 'n' roll is my addiction, and literature is my religion," says songwriter, producer and writer Elliott Murphy of himself. At over 70 years old, Elliott Murphy can look back on a proud career. His debut "Aquashow" in 1973 received a lot of praise from critics. Elliott Murphy is an American and one of those artists who can't be bent. In the '70s, the rock troubadour and storyteller was part of a whole new intellectual scene, flirting with the songs of Bruce Springsteen and David Bowie on the basis of Bob Dylan and Lou Reed. The greats of the scene regularly appear on his albums, whether Mick Taylor or Billy Joel, Phil Collins, Sonny Landreth or The Violent Femmes. An American back in the Palatinate.

In Neustadt an der Weinstraße he has been known for years now from his great concerts. He has toured tirelessly through France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Scandinavia and the USA, and regularly releases new albums. We are already looking forward to new songs, and of course the classics. This time he will be accompanied by Olivier Durand from Le Havre, his long-time, congenial partner on the strings and on the microphone with the harmony vocals.

Tour 2025 | Admission: 6 p.m. | Start: 7:30 p.m. | Ticket price: €29.80 (adticket | plus €2.00 service fee and shipping costs per order) | Location: Weingut Müller-Catoir, Mandelring 25, Haardt, 67433 Neustadt an der Weinstraße
