2000 Festival Schedule. Here are the entries and workshops as scheduled thus far. More entries and changes will be announced as they are received.

NOTE FOR LOCAL PARTICIPANTS NOT CONNECTED TO THE MILITARY: In view of increased security measures that will likely still be in place during the Festival, it will be the responsibility of each participating community to sign each of their non-ID card participants on and off Heidelberg installations during the weekend events. Members of the local Heidelberg public who would like to attend should contact us a few days before your arrival so we can add your name to our guestlist at the gate.
