Culture Calendar Hello September! We might be reaching the end of summer but that doesn’t mean the outdoor fun is over. From food and music festivals to the legendary Oktoberfest in Munich, this month promises to be packed with great events throughout.

FESTIVAL OF GERMAN FILM, LUDWIGSHAFEN AM RHEIN (24 AUGUST – 11 SEPTEMBER) This is one of Germany’s biggest film festivals and this year it returns for its 18th edition. Held on a lovely little island, it celebrates the absolute crème de la crème of German filmmaking. Guests can look forward to great storytelling, and many celebrities and new talent mingling with film buffs from across the globe. www.festival-des-deutschen-films.de
GENUSSMEILE, VIENNA WOODS (3 – 4 AND 10 – 11 SEPTEMBER) This festival is also affectionately called the ‘longest bar’ as it measures a stunning ten kilometres. Along Vienna’s waterline hiking path between Mödling and Bad Vöslau over 90 vintners from the region offer a wonderful range of tasty treats. The German word ‘Genussmeile’ translates to ‘Mile of Indulgence’, which is very fitting for these two special weekends filled with delicious food. www.thermenregion-wienerwald.at/ genussmeile
