is a 3-day event that occurs every year in June in Dresden’s Outer Neustadt.
It was founded in 1990 and originally the BRN was meant as a kind of a free anarchic state. In the first years it even had a “fun”-government and its own currency.
During the festival the streets are filled with vendors selling food and drinks, DJs playing music and live bands. It is attended by every age group and class of citizens.
