Overview

Herford World Children's Day once again saw thousands of visitors, both young and old, in the city centre. Over 50 clubs, schools, and daycare centres set up their activities — from craft stations and sports parcours to stage shows. Free admission, family-friendly atmosphere.

Looking Back at 2025

Just like in previous years, the concept of Herford World Children's Day 2025 worked seamlessly: the entire pedestrian zone was a play zone from 11 am to 4 pm. Parents, grandparents, and children found a rare form of politically motivated family festival in the city centre — linked to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and yet possessing playful charm.

Participation

Over 50 institutions from the Herford district and the Ostwestfalen-Lippe region participated — from schools, daycare centres, and sports clubs to cultural initiatives and community associations.

Highlights

Hands-on stations, stage programme, sports and creative workshops, over 50 institutions on site.

Prices

Free admission.
