Festival4Family

The live event for the whole family

Where the Eintracht players usually fight for points in the Bundesliga, numerous great events are held during the summer break. One in particular is the popular FESTIVAL4FAMILY. As the name suggests, this is a festival for the whole family with numerous hands-on activities, star guests on stage, sport, talks, music and much more. No wonder that in the past years more than 20,000 visitors have come to the event, which was created by Trifels Verlag. In 2018, this number is expected to be even surpassed. And given the great offerings that visitors can experience and enjoy with free admission, it is more than likely that this will be achieved.

The Festival

For the seventh time, the largest indoor family fun event in the Rhine-Main area will take place on the hallowed turf and grounds in front of the arena. In 2011, it was held for the first time at Eintracht Frankfurt's performance centre to celebrate the winners of the children's painting competition, which was launched in 2005. Following its great success, the family festival was then able to move to the Commerzbank Arena, where it has since become one of the most important family festivals in Germany. With the support of numerous national and regional partners, the Festival4Family is of course first and foremost about having fun. But the organizers also have an important message at heart.

Because what is normality for most is not a given for too many children: being allowed to live the right to leisure and play. And that's why Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child ("Children have the right to rest and leisure, to play and active recreation appropriate to their age, and to participate freely in cultural and artistic life.") also stands as a motto over this beautiful festival.

The Stage Program

This year's colorful show program on the big event stage includes something for every taste and age. This year, the popular HR3 host Tobi Kämmerer will lead through the colorful stage program. In addition to "Your Song winner Leontina, children's cult singer Oliver Mager, "The Super Talent participant Salvatore will also perform.strong>Salvatore and Dave Amoncio as well as Frank and his friends from the Europapark will be on stage. And also visitors from far away galaxies have announced themselves! Be curious what other surprises the Festival4Family has in store for you!

Attractions

This year the family festival has some very special highlights to offer. In addition to the Tatütata Park, where you can learn about the work of the city's mini fire department, among other things, there is also a giant bouncy castle from Bridgestone or even the KETTCUP- race.

You think that's all? Far from it, there is much more.
