The Baltic Soul Weekender is a music festival with a maximum of 4700 visitors so far, which took place for the first time in 2007. Essentially, the organizer presents the music genres soul , funk , soulful house and disco . In addition to live acts, well-known DJs also play music. It is Germany's only festival where the immobile accommodations (holiday homes) are located directly on the festival site. The founder of the festival is the DJ and event manager Daniel Dombrowe (Dan D.).
history
From 2007 to 2013 the venue was the Weißenhäuser Strand holiday park , which is located about 120 km north of Hamburg on the Baltic Sea . From 2014 to 2016 the Baltic Soul Weekender took place in the Center Parc Bispingen in the south of the Lüneburg Heath . In November 2014, there was a one-time DJ weekend that completely avoided live acts and only DJs played. After the previously organizing Soul Weekender GmbH had to file for bankruptcy in 2015, the Four Artists agency from Berlin has been organizing the Baltic Soul Weekender since 2016. Dan Dombrowe stayed on as creative director. Since 2018 the event has been taking place again at the Weißenhäuser Strand holiday park .
