A festival that makes Hochheide visible
The focus is not only on entertainment but also on what makes a district festival strong: encounters, information, and participation. According to the city of Duisburg, it is about a colorful program around living and growing together in the neighborhood as well as the projects and participation opportunities on-site. The character of the festival thus combines street festival, participation format, and neighborhood celebration.

Play, sports, and music in an open area
The event is announced as a day full of play, sports, and music. The area around the Bürgermeister-Bongartz-Platz and Glückaufstraße provides the perfect setting: open, approachable, and right in the neighborhood. Visitors will not experience a classic large festival here, but a compact multi-day feeling in a single intense festival day with an urban festival atmosphere.

Urban development promotion you can touch
The Day of Urban Development Promotion brings projects of urban development to life nationwide, and this street festival reflects that precisely. Hochheide has been in focus for urban development for years; the city describes the district as part of an integrated action concept with visible changes in the neighborhood. The festival gives a face to this transformation on the street.
