Upcoming Events

Join Us at the Joylery – Volunteers, Artists, djs & Performers Needed!

May 30 – June 1, 2025 • Crinitz, Brandenburg

Private Friends & Family Gathering – RSVP Required

Get ready for a weekend of imagination, music, art, and a healthy dose of childlike wonder—with a twist! Even though we dream of one day opening our doors to everyone, we’re not quite there yet. This space isn’t even a proper construction site right now, so for the moment, it’s a private event designed for friends, family, and supporters who want to help us bring this historic building back to life.

What to Expect

Playful Themes – Friday & Saturday will be all about adults playing like kids—costumes, nostalgic disco with techno and groovy vibes, plus circus-style acts like fire dancing, juggling, stilt-walking, you name it. Then on Sunday, we’ll shift gears to play with kids, complete with a kids rave, bubble shows, balloon animals, and more.
Workshops & Surprises – Origami, glitter stations, body painting, and any other fun ideas you (or your friends) want to bring to life. If you’ve got a knack for clowning, hula hooping, or face-painting, we want you here!
Kids Rave (Sunday): Bubbles, dancing, and music that’s just as fun for little ones as it is for big kids at heart.
Factory Charm: We’re turning our old factory space into a colourful playground—on a budget, but with limitless imagination.
Volunteer Opportunities – Lend a hand before, during, or after the festival to prep, clean up, and keep the energy flowing. We’ll need help with everything from setting up the (donation-based) bar to operating the bubble machines.
Community Spirit – Connect with like-minded dreamers who share our vision for a future art hub and potential mini cinema right here in Crinitz. We might be rough around the edges, but with a little creativity and teamwork, we’ll make magic happen!

We rely on donations (including a fun pre-festival “kickstarter” system with gift tiers—see below!) to fund our big restoration dream. Your support brings us one step closer to a vibrant, community-driven space.

Pre-Festival Fundraiser

We’re launching an optional fundraiser for anyone eager to contribute beyond normal donations. You’ll be able to pledge at different tiers, each with a special thank-you gift. Think limited-edition T-shirts, enamel camping mugs, Art Prints, guided Mushroom trip to the forest, handcrafted tokens, or even naming a corner of the building after you! Stay tuned for details.

How You Can Help

Volunteer – We need help setting up, running a (donation-based) bar, and cleaning up afterward. Whether it’s decorating the disco floor, shining up the bubble machines, or collecting glitter confetti, every contribution counts! Be sure to check out our Volunteer Page for a list of upcoming weekend sessions where you can help us clean, prep, and dream.
Perform or Teach – Got a special skill or act? Share it! Music, circus arts, comedic sketches, or family-friendly activities—this is your stage. Please CONTACT US and share your idea and vision.
Creative Contributor – Got an idea for a nostalgic disco corner, a mini ball pit, or a glow-in-the-dark dance floor? Let’s chat and make it happen.

RSVP a Must

RSVP to get all the details—dates, directions, volunteer sign-ups, and ways you can perform or help.

We can’t wait to see what you’ll bring to the Unicorns & Dinosaurs Festival!

Please note:

This is a private, invite-only event. We don’t have commercial licensing to open it to the public—yet!
Donations are welcome to help cover basic festival expenses (and speed up the factory’s facelift!), but there are no fixed ticket prices.

Come for the dancing, the techno beats, the glitter, the silly costumes—or just to embrace your inner child.
Let’s create some unforgettable memories—together!
