Children's and Family Festival Dettenhausen

Family Afternoon of the Dettenhausen Associations

The Children's and Family Festival Dettenhausen is a jointly organized association festival that takes place annually in September on the Fronlachwiesen — the central festival grounds of the municipality, just behind the DRK local association building and next to the youth center. Numerous local associations are co-organizers, with their members each managing a stand or activity:

• DRK Local Association Dettenhausen — First-aid demonstrations, ambulance to explore
• Freie Narren Dettenhausen e.V. — Jester-themed entertainment and hands-on stand
• Dettenhausen Municipal Administration — Co-organization
• Other youth and school associations

Program Character

For four hours, everything revolves around families with children. As expected, the program includes hands-on stations, games and skill courses, face painting, craft activities, a bouncy castle, a rally, and demonstrations by the participating associations. The DRK typically shows first-aid exercises and lets children explore an ambulance. The Freie Narren provide entertainment with games and a festive atmosphere. Other associations — sports, music, fire department, school — present their work.

Catering

On the festival grounds, coffee, cake, sausages, fries, and drinks will be offered — provided by the associations, who run the stands with their volunteers. A perfect late summer Sunday for families from Dettenhausen and the surrounding area.

Dettenhausen — Schönbuch Idyll

Dettenhausen, with around 5,500 inhabitants, is a municipality in the Tübingen district, located in the heart of the Schönbuch Nature Park — one of the largest contiguous forest areas in Baden-Württemberg. Its location between Tübingen, Böblingen, and Stuttgart makes it a quiet residential community with a strong club life. The Fronlachwiesen are the central festival grounds on the outskirts of town, ideal for open-air family events.
