Frühlingsfest Rösrath (Sülztalplatz)

Frühlingsfest Rösrath — Sunday at Sülztalplatz

Are you in the Bergisches Land and looking for a city festival that isn't overcrowded but offers a packed program? Rösrath, in the southern Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis, hosts its Frühlingsfest (Spring Festival) at Sülztalplatz every spring — seven hours, a central Sunday festival with everything that characterizes a Bergisches city festival. The association Gemeinsam für Rösrath e.V. organizes it, local clubs and businesses are involved, and admission is free.

Three Bands on the Sponsor Stage

The musical heart is the sponsor stage at Sülztalplatz with three regular acts:

• Dragons — a well-known cover band from the Bergisches Land with classics from rock, pop, and Schlager
• Bläserchorps Much — a brass ensemble from nearby Much, playing more traditional pieces
• Swingenden Gärtner — a jazz-dixie group that takes its name literally and performs in green costumes
• Em&Em Soundfabrik — DJ sets between live performances

Crafts, Local Produce, and Club Stalls

Around Sülztalplatz and in the side streets, there are stalls with regional products — honey, cheese, sausage, baked goods —, local craftspeople (wood turners, ceramics, jewelry), and local clubs presenting their activities. Social projects like animal welfare, environmental groups, and tourism associations are also present.

Sunday Shopping

In conjunction with the city festival, Rösrath's city center shops and Möbel Höffner on the outskirts open their doors — Sunday shopping from 1 PM to 6 PM. This combination of city festival and shopping opportunity is the hallmark of the Frühlingsfest and the reason why visitors from surrounding communities like Bensberg, Bergisch Gladbach, and Overath also come to Rösrath.

ADAC Sports Day and Family Program

The family program is characterized by the ADAC Sports Day — a hands-on station with bicycle inspections, safety tips for children, and small skill competitions. In addition, there are classic children's play areas, craft stations, and face painting.

Rösrath and the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis
