Cheesecake Festival Hamminkeln-Wertherbruch

5th Cheesecake Festival in Wertherbruch

In August 2025, the Cheesecake Festival at the Isseldeich celebrated its fifth edition. As in previous years, the association Cheesecake Music e.V. consciously positioned itself as a counterpoint to the large festivals of the Lower Rhine region — the local press picked up on this narrative in 2024 with the headline "Counterpoint to Parookaville and Co." and repeated it in 2025.

Programmatically, the festival remained true to its line of indie, folk, and alternative music. The special formats of pond concert, church concert, and castle concert formed — as in previous years — the more intimate framework around the main program on the festival stage. Camping and breakfast remained included in the ticket.
