Interactive offerings, stage program, and culinary diversity

The program for 2025 impressively showcases the energy present at this festival: Opening, dance performances, children’s musical theater, karate and dance activities, live music with regional bands, and a ceremonial conclusion with a fire show shape the day. There will also be stalls from the fire department, daycare, sports club, beekeeping association, neighborhood work, and other actors. The culinary offerings include a grill station, homemade baguettes, mushroom pans, falafel, and cakes. This mixture of culture, club life, and community is what makes the Autumn Festival so special.
