An autumn evening full of goosebumps, stories, and campfire light

With the season finale of Culture by the Campfire, the Habichtwiese in Potsdam transforms into a place for literary tension under the open sky. On November 17, 2026, visitors will gather for an evening that combines music, storytelling art, and atmospheric encounters – accompanied by flames, stars, and the special closeness that only an open reading at twilight can create.

Ghost stories as a living storytelling theater

The event relies on the power of the spoken word. Ghost stories take on a different effect by the campfire than in a book: pauses become dramaturgical tools, voices become stage sets, the crackling of the fire becomes its own narrative path. Those who want to not just read literature, but physically experience it, will find a striking example of the power of oral culture here.

An evening of culture between fairy tales, music, and community

The official event notice describes the evening as a combination of stories, songs, bands, and choirs. This is precisely where the strength of this format lies: it is not a static reading, but an open literary and cultural event that brings together various forms of expression. For families, the curious, and friends of the storytelling art, a reading atmosphere emerges that feels both relaxed and intense.

Habichtwiese: a place with special proximity to local culture

The Habichtwiese in Potsdam-Bornstedt has stood for committed local community work and open cultural formats for years. The venue creates an intimate, nature-close setting in which visitors experience the evening without distance. This blend of neighborhood, natural space, and community gives the season finale its literary quality: approachable, authentic, unfiltered.

What visitors can expect on November 17

Those coming to Potsdam can expect an autumn evening that is not content with being mere entertainment. It's about voice, atmosphere, and the fascination of storytelling. The event is suitable for all who appreciate literary experiences with a social character and wish to savor the darker season in a special mood.

Conclusion: Culture by the Campfire offers a memorable season finale with storytelling tension, a communal flair, and real autumn magic. Those who love ghost stories, open-air culture, and vibrant literature should not miss this evening at the Habichtwiese.
