Celebration of Two Centuries: Floating Delights, Mexican Cuisine, and Sweet Confections
The city of Bremen is buzzing today, Friday, July 11, as Sparkasse Bremen celebrates its 200th anniversary with a special event called the Long Afternoon.
The Sparkasse at Ostertorsteinweg is just one of the many branches participating in this celebration, and it's already teeming with activity shortly after the start. Red and white balloons decorate the entrance, attracting the attention of passersby.
Inside, a balloon artist continues to create various artworks for visitors, including hats, bracelets, animals, and plants. The sweet aroma of cotton candy fills the air, while a DJ provides musical accompaniment, making for a lively atmosphere.
Visitors can also enjoy tacos, snacks, and drinks at the Sparkasse at Ostertorsteinweg. For those who prefer a more interactive experience, a photo booth is available, and a behind-the-scenes look at the Sparkasse's operations is on offer as well.
Sonja Kastin, CEO of Sparkasse Bremen, is visiting various branches during the Long Afternoon, including the one at Ostertorsteinweg. The branches will remain open until 6 pm as part of the Long Afternoon, offering extended hours for visitors to enjoy the festivities.
The Long Afternoon is just one part of Sparkasse Bremen's anniversary celebration. Although direct search results do not detail a balloon artist or specific program activities for the event, it is known that Sparkasse Bremen has a dedicated stage ("Sparkasse Bremen Bühne") which hosts events such as musical performances aimed at fundraising, like the Sea Music event on 01.08.2025[1]. This suggests that the anniversary celebration includes live entertainment and fundraising activities.
For comprehensive information on the activities lineup, including balloon artists at the anniversary event, it is recommended to check Sparkasse Bremen’s official event pages or contact the organizers directly, as the official festival brochure provided does not list such details[1].
As the Long Afternoon continues, it's clear that Sparkasse Bremen is going all out to celebrate its 200th anniversary in style. Many visitors are taking advantage of the offers and leaving the branch with a colorful balloon bracelet on their wrist, adding a touch of festivity to the city streets.
Visitors at the Sparkasse branch on Ostertorsteinweg are treated to a lively atmosphere with balloon artistry and live music, as part of Sparkasse Bremen's 200th anniversary celebration, blending lifestyle and fashion elements with home and garden decorations. The anniversary event also includes interactive activities like photo booths and behind-the-scenes tours, making it a must-visit destination for fashion-and-beauty and home-and-garden enthusiasts in Bremen.
