Earlier this month, Saarbrücken hosted Tag der Deutschen Einheit, a massive three-day celebration for German Unity Day. Imagine: 300,000 people, music, food, dance floors, politics, karaoke. The works.
And somehow… Projekt Glitter was invited to be part of it.
I didn’t go (Berlin had other plans for me), but one of our amazing artists based in Köln showed up and glittered what sounds like half the children in Saarland.
A hit with kids
In between the choirs and beatbox battles and sweaty karaoke booths, our glitter bar became a cute, sparkly haven.
Kids lined up. Parents hovered. Our artist kept it moving, one glittered cheek at a time.
And being part of this whole event became one of those pinch me moments because…
I’m Malaysian. I moved to Berlin knowing zero people.
No connections. Just a lot of curiosity and a weird obsession with glitter.
And now, somehow, the state of Berlin invited Projekt Glitter to represent them at a nationwide event.
Like… what?
To have my little passion project, my baby, recognised by the city I call home? That's wild.
The takeaway?
Glitter isn’t just for party people.
It’s for anyone who wants to feel seen, even for a second.
And while I wasn’t in Saarbrücken, Projekt Glitter was.
And we showed up the way we always do; with compostable sparkle, open hearts and a sprinkling of cheeky fun.
I’m proud. A bit stunned. And so very, very grateful.
Want to bring some of that soft sparkle into your world?
