Victorian picnic attracts hundreds of Gothic fans in Leipzig!
On June 8, 2025, Leipzig experienced a special highlight of the Wave-Gotik-Treffen (WGT) in the picturesque Clara-Zetkin-Park - the Victorian Picnic. Despite initially gray skies, hundreds of WGT fans gathered and created an exuberant atmosphere that underlined the unique character of the event. The event has now become a permanent tradition at the WGT, which this year takes place from June 6th to 9th, and attracts both festival visitors and other interested parties.
The Victorian Picnic started at around 2pm this year. The participants came in costume and brought their own blankets, dishes and food to spend the day in a cozy atmosphere. In contrast to many other events, the picnic is not organized centrally, so everyone takes care of their physical well-being in their own way. This not only promotes creativity, but also a sense of community among the participants.
Imaginative costumes and creative atmosphere
The participants' outfits were a real feast for the eyes. Fantastically designed clothing in gothic, baroque and steampunk styles transformed the park into a living journey through time. This expression of individuality and creativity is characteristic of the Victorian Picnic and complements the mystical atmosphere of the entire WGT.
The event stands out not only because of the impressive costumes, but also because of the open and welcoming atmosphere. The event is free and open to anyone interested in the Victorian lifestyle. This accessibility makes the picnic a special attraction and encourages people from different backgrounds and ages to come together.
