Main sponsors

In order to make the Nuremberg Bardentreffen accessible to everyone, Sparda-Bank Nürnberg is the main sponsor of the largest music festival with free admission in Germany. This means that all Nuremberg residents, but also all guests from outside the city, can enjoy the best quality music. Income and social status are irrelevant. As part of its SpardaKulturSommer 2024, the cooperative bank also supports a colourful range of cultural events with free admission in many other cities in northern Bavaria.

Tucher beers are part of Franconian beer culture: brewed with artisanal care and using resources sparingly, today they come from what is probably the only two-city brewhouse in the world. They are a favourite at many social and cultural events in their home city of Nuremberg. Because joie de vivre has a stage at Tucher. As the new official beer - combined with sponsorship from its namesake private brewery as co-main sponsor - Tucher is also on tap at the Bardentreffen, because it simply makes Nuremberg special.
