Peace, joy and castle fun
3rd Children’s Festival on Saturday, July 6, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
On July 6, the Giechburg is once again firmly in the hands of children. At the 3rd children’s festival of the Bamberg district, young and old knights and damsels can explore the castle from 2.00 pm to 6.00 pm. Under the motto “Peace, joy, castle fun!” many great and interesting hands-on stations await.
Volunteers organize party for children
The idea for a children’s festival at Giechburg Castle came from the ranks of volunteers a few years ago. Due to the great success of the first two children’s festivals, volunteer officer Friederike Straub and district youth worker Oliver Schulz-Mayr have once again organized a festival for older and younger children this year. Thanks to the support of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior, Sport and Integration and in cooperation with the Bavarian Sports Youth, the Bamberg-Land District Youth Association, KoBis, Integration through Sport and the VR Bank Bamberg-Forchheim and the great support of volunteer clubs, the festival once again offers a varied program this year.
The children’s festival takes place in all weathers and is free of charge. Parking is available below the castle. For those who are not so good on foot, a free shuttle bus runs from here up to Giechburg Castle.
