Gartenparty Vier-Jahreszeiten-Park Oelde

25 Years Vier-Jahreszeiten-Park — An Anniversary Night

When the Vier-Jahreszeiten-Park Oelde celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2026, it will be more than a classic summer festival. On Saturday, June 6, 2026, starting at 7 p.m., the former State Garden Show grounds in the southern Münsterland will transform into an open dance floor under the open sky. The Garden Party for the park's anniversary brings together three DJ sets, three dance areas, and three sound worlds.

Three Dance Floors, Three Sounds

You choose where you feel most comfortable:

• 90s & 2000s — Eurodance, pop hits, boy bands, and sing-along classics
• House & Electro — Festival sound with progressive beats and open-air atmosphere
• Schlager, Party Hits & NDW — from Helene Fischer to Nena, plus classic sing-along numbers

The three areas are spatially distributed within the park — allowing each sound world to play at full volume without overlapping. You can wander between the areas depending on your mood.

Street Food, Vegetarian, and Vegan

Distributed throughout the park are street food stalls offering international classics, burger variations, sweets, as well as vegetarian and vegan options. The food points are located close to the dance floors, so you can move between areas with a drink in hand.

The Park — Legacy of the 2001 State Garden Show

The Vier-Jahreszeiten-Park was created in 2001 as the State Garden Show Oelde and remained a permanent part of the city thereafter. Covering 32 hectares, it features theme gardens, show beds, a petting zoo, the "Park of the Senses," and a water lily pond. With several hundred thousand visitors annually, it is one of the most visited park facilities in the Warendorf district. Events like the Schlossfest, the Lichterfest, or the Gartenparty have become established program highlights.

Oelde — Industrial Tradition and Landscape Park

Oelde is located in the southern Münsterland between Beckum and Bad Wünnenberg. With around 30,000 inhabitants and the headquarters of the GEA Group, the city is an important industrial location, yet it also retains its green character through the park and the nearby Beckum Hills. The Gartenparty is one of the few purely open-air dance events in this region — and is correspondingly in high demand.
