Familien-Stadtfest Liebenwalde

A City Festival with a Clear Focus

While many city festivals focus on beer tents, showmen, and large stages, the Familien-Stadtfest in Liebenwalde takes a different approach: The focus is on families — with small, accessible activities, with games for children between 2 and 14 years old, and with intergenerational encounters. The organizer is the social support organization Brandenburger Kinderland — Die Jugendhilfe GmbH, managed by Tobias Pernitzsch, which has been hosting the festival for several years.

Program around Am Kietz

The festival grounds Am Kietz at Berliner Straße 50 B in Liebenwalde will be buzzing with activity from the morning onwards. Stations with a bouncy castle, Bobby car races, competitive games, face painting, and craft activities will be set up on the meadow and in the courtyard. A stage will provide live music, dance groups, and children's entertainment. Clubs, regional vendors, and food trucks will offer hearty meals, sweets, and drinks. Admission is free.

Liebenwalde — Gateway to the Stechlin-Ruppiner Land Nature Park

Liebenwalde is located in the northern district of Oberhavel, nestled in a landscape of forests, lakes, and moors. The small town has around 4,500 inhabitants and is a good starting point for tours into the Stechlin-Ruppiner Land Nature Park or the Liebenwalder Forst. The Familien-Stadtfest fits well with this quiet, nature-oriented profile: a day on which the town celebrates its own families.

Social Sponsorship as a Special Feature

The fact that the festival is organized by a youth welfare organization is unusual — and shapes its character. Brandenburger Kinderland is known in the region as a provider of child and youth welfare services. The city festival is part of its public relations and networking efforts with the social environment: parents, grandparents, and children meet, clubs present themselves, and in the end, it's a festival created by the town for the town.
