In the heart of Old Town, a unique cultural event named "Culture for All" took place on Sunday, 5.3., from 13:00 to 18:00 at Ratinger Hof on Ratinger Street. This special event was a collaborative effort between The Old Town Soup Kitchen, aXept - Old Town Streetwork, and Kulturbanausen at Ratinger Hof, with the aim of providing access to cultural events for homeless individuals and the wider community.
The event was open to everyone, and a high demand for sponsored tickets, especially for those in need, was reported. Joker's Kingdom provided the music, setting a lively atmosphere for the day. The musical opening was performed by Father Wolfgang and Franky (Inferno), kicking off the event in style.
Visitors had the opportunity to witness a variety of performances and exhibitions.
