The festival family
Where our festivals come from
“Black Forest Hop” is the name of our society – and of the international Lindy Hop festival it organised in Freiburg from 2014 to 2020.
Today the family has grown: Blue Forest brings blues dancing to Freiburg, and Lindy Quiche is our new Lindy Hop festival by the lake. Lindy Cake runs on its own website.
