Burscheider Altstadtfest with Kirmes at the Historic Site
2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — Altstadtfest Burscheid
The 7th edition of the Burscheider Altstadtfest was held in 2025 by Burscheid Live e.V. on Burscheid's market square and the adjacent Hauptstraße. Three days of stage program with a clear tripartite genre division (Kölsch tunes on Friday, Schlager & Party on Saturday, World Music on Sunday) characterized the event.
The Kirmes on Hauptstraße complemented the festival with rides, food, and candy stalls. On Sunday, Burscheid's shops opened for Sunday shopping. Thousands of visitors from Burscheid, Leverkusen, Wermelskirchen, Solingen, and the wider Rheinisch-Bergisches district used the festival to liven up the city center — a template for the 8th edition in 2026.
