atmosfair
This year, we would like to draw your attention once again to a project worth supporting by atmosfair! The organization implements various projects in countries of the Global South that contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and sustainable development. These include projects in the field of biomass and solar energy. When booking your Pinot and Rock ticket, you have the opportunity to make a financial contribution to reducing CO2 emissions. This year, the contributions will go entirely to a drinking water project in Togo, the aim of which is to provide general access to safe and affordable drinking water for the population. Using solar water treatment technology and so-called water kiosks, access to clean and nearby drinking water is ensured and the CO2 emissions from water treatment are reduced. We look forward to every support and to a great festival where we keep an eye on our environment together.
Betty BBQ
Freiburg's most famous drag queen and figurehead of Freiburg's LGBTQIA+ scene will be coming back to Pinot and Rock in 2025. Betty BBQ will once again represent us as an ambassador for diversity on all five days. As Freiburg's mother and unofficial spritzer queen, she belongs to the Kaiserstuhl region like Pinot belongs to rock.
FLUSS
We want everyone to feel comfortable and welcome here at Pinot and Rock. To support this mission, we have brought FLUSS e. V. to the Kaiserstuhl. The association for education and counseling on gender and sexual/romantic orientation will have a stand where you can take part in various interactive activities (such as DIY buttons). The association has been a contact point for the LGBTIAQ* community in and around Freiburg since 1996. They offer workshops and counseling sessions on the topics of queerness, gender roles and coming out. So we couldn't have wished for a better partner for queer visibility at our festival.
HICLIVE
This year we are excited to introduce you to HICLIVE as a sustainable and community-focused travel option to the Pinot and Rock Festival! With HICLIVE you not only travel stress-free and comfortably from Friday to Sunday, but you also actively contribute to reducing CO2 emissions.
By using HICLIVE, you can avoid unnecessary car journeys - and the festival atmosphere begins as soon as you arrive! That's exactly why HICLIVE offers you the community effect in the payment process: the more people join your trip, the cheaper the ticket becomes for everyone. Traveling together, sharing costs and protecting the environment – that is the goal.
Let's not only experience unforgettable moments at the Pinot and Rock Festival, but also make a contribution to a sustainable and communal future. We look forward to making the festival world a little greener with you!
The Corkampaign
At Pinot and Rock, we celebrate not only good music and excellent wines, but also the little helper in the bottle neck of the wines. On site, we will support the KORKampagne, an initiative of NABU, and collect the bottle corks from our winemakers and restaurateurs. Afterwards, the KORKampagne recycles them to produce not only ecological insulation material for house construction, but also to protect the overwintering sites of cranes in cork oak forests. That's right: The cork granulate obtained is sold as an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic fibers. The proceeds in turn go to crane protection projects in Spain and Germany. You can also do this privately. Check out the KORKampagne website to find out where the nearest collection point is and drop off your corks there.
Lebenshilfe
Together with our inclusion partner Lebenshilfe Breisgau, we will be rocking out at our festival. Lebenshilfe stands up for the rights and well-being of all people with disabilities and their relatives throughout Germany. At our festival site, Lebenshilfe will be looking after the handicap platform and supporting people with disabilities on site with personal assistance for their visit to the festival. Please get in touch directly with the contact persons of the non-profit association at freizeitundbildung(at)lebenshilfe-breisgau.de.
Lebenshilfe will be at our side as a contact partner in the run-up to and during the festival to ensure the well-being of all visitors. If you would like to find out more about Lebenshilfe, you can also stop by their interactive stand at our festival. Not only information awaits you here, but also lots of fun and games - it's worth stopping by!
Viva con Agua
Celebrate and promote access to clean drinking water worldwide at the same time? This is possible at Pinot and Rock through the collaboration with Viva con Agua! We are very pleased that the non-profit organization is on board and will be collecting your deposit diligently. Since 2006, Viva con Agua has been committed, among other things, to improving drinking water supply, sanitation, and hygiene in developing countries. Look out for the white-blue flag on the festival site and support Viva con Agua with your deposit donation to enable everyone to access clean drinking water.
