The NaJe Festival 2026 – Culture Mix Music is a three-day, non-commercial, intercultural festival taking place along the River Elbe. From June 19 to 21, 2026, Entenwerder Park will become a vibrant space for music, culture, education, dialogue and community connection.
Organized by the non-profit organization NaJe e.V., the festival promotes cultural diversity, social cohesion, equal opportunities and civic participation, with a special focus on the African diaspora and people with migration backgrounds.
The NaJe Festival is a community-based, low-threshold and public-benefit project, developed and implemented together with local initiatives, associations, migrant organizations, businesses and engaged individuals in Hamburg-Rothenburgsort and surrounding neighborhoods.
We are actively seeking partners, sponsors and supporters who wish to:
- promote cultural diversity and inclusion
- strengthen social cohesion and participation
- support local and migrant-led initiatives
- engage sustainably and visibly in the community
Partnerships are possible in various forms, including corporate partnerships, institutional funding, media partnerships and program collaborations.
Program Highlights:
Under the theme “Culture Mix Music”, the festival offers a diverse and interdisciplinary program:
- Live concerts & DJ sessions (African music & world music)
- Exhibitions of contemporary African art, design and craftsmanship
- Workshops on migration, education and culture
- Marketplace of Opportunities featuring social, cultural and development initiatives
- Programs for children and families
- Career guidance & job coaching (employment, training, orientation)
