Overview

In 2025, the Animal Welfare Association for Gelsenkirchen and Surrounding Areas e.V. 1880 again invited visitors to the summer festival on the animal shelter premises at Willy-Brandt-Allee. Live music, barbecue stand, raffle, stands of external exhibitors, and animal shelter tours characterized the day. Proceeds for the benefit of the animals — as every year, an important contribution to financing the association's work.

2025 Summer Festival

The 2025 summer festival followed the proven format: a Sunday in late spring, seven hours of program on the animal shelter premises. Hundreds of animal lovers from Gelsenkirchen and the surrounding area visited the association, brought in-kind and monetary donations, and learned about the care work during guided tours.

As every year, the animals in the shelter benefited from the proceeds — food costs, veterinary bills, adoption logistics, and minor shelter renovations are co-financed by the festival income. The Animal Welfare Association, founded in 1880, is one of the oldest associations of its kind in Germany.
