Open-Air Children's Festival in the Kurpark

The Kurpark Osterode serves as the natural stage for KinderZeit im Park. With its meadows, trees, and proximity to the Söse river meadows, it provides the ideal setting for an open-air children's festival where the youngest visitors can move freely, play, and discover. The town administration and VTM Osterode have been developing a format for years that is specifically tailored to the needs of families.

Stage Program with Piet the Pirate

The focus of the festival is a varied stage program. The highlight in 2026 is the performance by Frank Bode as Piet the Pirate — a children's character who captivates the youngest spectators with songs, stories, and interactive shows. Frank Bode is one of Northern Germany's well-known children's entertainers and has been a sought-after guest at children's festivals in the region for years.

Dance Groups and Local Associations

In addition to the main program, dance groups from Osterode and the surrounding area showcase their skills. Local associations — sports clubs, music groups, kindergartens, and schools — participate with performances and hands-on activities. This involvement of the local community makes KinderZeit a festival by Osterode residents for Osterode residents.

Games, Fun, and Hands-On Activities

Between the stage performances, there are numerous hands-on activities: bouncy castles, face painting, craft stations, games offered by associations, and more. Food stalls provide refreshments for families.

Family-Friendly and Free Admission

Admission is free. With the central location of the Kurpark, its accessibility, and the child-friendly program, KinderZeit im Park is ideal for families with children of all ages — from infants in strollers to primary school children.
