Profit per beer

Uferlos is a non-profit. There is no profit. On the contrary: in recent years, the festival has cost more than it earned. Every cent from your beer flows back into the festival.

Share of total revenue (rounded, based on 2024)

Made by people, not corporations.

Uferlos is carried by dozens of volunteers from Freising and the surrounding area. Nobody here is getting rich. Everyone is here because they believe in culture, community and good music. We've been doing this since 2009. And as long as you keep coming, we'll keep going.

The festival is for everyone. No admission, no VIP areas, no paywall in front of the stage. Culture should not depend on what you can afford.

Thank you for taking the time. We believe you have the right to know where your money goes. Questions? Write to us or come to the info stand at the festival entrance.

All figures are based on the preliminary accounts 2023/2024 of Uferlos Kultur und Veranstaltungs gGmbH. Rounded values for better understanding.
