International Festival of Encounter Paderborn

The 28th edition of the International Festival of Encounter in Paderborn on July 6, 2025, once again showcased the city's cultural diversity. In the Schlosspark Schloß Neuhaus, numerous communities presented their traditions — from Eastern European folk dances to Latin American rhythms, from Asian cuisine to Greek specialties. The concept has proven successful over almost three decades and was continued in 2026 with the 29th edition on July 5. The organizers are the Cultural Office and the Integration Office of the City of Paderborn.
