About this audio guide
This guide to the Palaisgarten in Dresden-Neustadt follows the Palais Sommer, the free open-air festival that filled the lawn behind the Japanese Palace with piano nights, poetry slams, painters and yoga mats every summer for more than a decade. It visits the strange summer of twenty twenty, when the festival had to find a way to keep its audience apart. Along the way you'll meet a garden laid out for pleasure in the eighteenth century, two old plane trees and a marble figure. Best heard sitting on the grass.
