Bottroper City Summer Festival 2025 - Full Details on the "Kick-off of Summer" Event
Festival Time in Bottrop, but Size Reduced!
There's a change afoot in Bottrop, Germany, as the city festival takes a smaller step this year. The horse market and town hall won't host events like they did in the past, but fear not, the heart of the festival shall remain steady at the Kirchplatz.
Organizers have plans to make this year's festival something special. The main stage on the Kirchplatz will play host to a program lasting from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening. Mayor Klaus Strehl will officially open the festival on June 13th at around 5:30 PM, followed by a diverse lineup of performers. Close out the first day with a Latin fusion band called "Los Pipos."
On the following day, sporting groups and dance schools will fill the main stage with their talented performers, ensuring a lively atmosphere throughout the day. The Bottrot Newsletter offers all the latest updates, so be sure to subscribe!
Bottrop musician Sven Jäger, the Bottrop-based "By the way" cover band, and the Düsseldorf band "Nachspiel" are highlights of the program on the festival's second day. The day also features a DJ contest, line dance, and performances from young musicians, making the festival program a vibrant kaleidoscope.
Children get their chance to shine on Sunday, with the Jekits-Truppe performing twice for an hour each, showcasing their hard work and talent. The festival schedule also includes the Bottrop-Altstadt Brass Band, line dance, a fashion show with acrobatics by NJ Gymnastics, and more. The festival concludes with performances by "Just Dimi" and Mak's Trio.
A second stage will be set up on Mensingplatz at Hansastraße to attract a younger audience. The event organizers aim to book "renowned artists" who will play electronic music exclusively on Friday and Saturday. They are, unfortunately, keeping the performers under wraps, as they are unknown to many. A DJ contest is also planned for this stage, providing a platform for aspiring DJs to showcase their skills.
Despite the safety concerns and size reduction, festival organizer Stephan Kückelmann assures that visitors can expect everything they'd find at a city festival this year. The festival will take place from June 13th to 15th, with shops in Bottrop's city center also open on the final day of the festival.
