KiJuKa Children's Festival Kattendorf

The Children's Festival of the Kattendorf Community

The Kattendorf Children and Youth Support Association (short KiJuKa) has been organizing its traditional children's festival as a fixed date in the summer calendar of the community for years. The festival is listed in the official village calendar 2026 of the Kattendorf municipality — a clear commitment from the municipality in the Segeberg district to its club work for children and young people.

Festive Parade Through the Village

The classic start is a colourful festive parade through Kattendorf. Families follow the procession, streets are closed for the event, and in the end, everything culminates on the fire department grounds — where the actual festival programme begins. In the past, the association has also engaged friendly North German music groups like AHOY Hamburg for the parade.

Programme at the Fire Department Grounds

A typical village children's festival awaits visitors on the festival grounds with games, small attractions, food, and many hands-on activities for children. KiJuKa traditionally focuses on a lovingly prepared programme put together by parents, grandparents, and dedicated club members.

A Festival for the Village and the Entire Region

Kattendorf is located in the heart of Schleswig-Holstein, in the Segeberg district, and is one of the smaller municipalities in the state. It is precisely this size that makes the charm of the children's festival: those who come here experience real club life, personal encounters, and an atmosphere where everyone greets everyone. The KiJuKa Children's Festival is therefore much more than an event for the little ones — it is a showcase of village community in the northern Hamburg metropolitan region.
