Kindertags-Fest Obhausen

Children's Day in Saalekreis

The Kindertags-Fest Obhausen is a small but established village tradition in Saalekreis. On June 1st — International Children's Day, which was a public holiday in the GDR and is still lovingly celebrated in eastern Germany today — the Weida-Land association organizes a family festival for the children of Obhausen and the surrounding area.

The venue is the square behind the Kita — a central meeting point in the village, which is ideally set up for such occasions. The program includes a bouncy castle, game stations, craft activities, small performances by the Kita children, coffee and cake for the parents, and a small stage for musical contributions.
