Kulturfestival Bloherfel.de
Music, theatre, and art on the market square and at five venues in the Oldenburg district of Bloherfelde — supported by the citizens' initiative
About Kulturfestival Bloherfel.de
Kulturfestival Bloherfel.de is one of Oldenburg's most unusual festivals: a three-day neighbourhood festival organised entirely by volunteer citizens. The central location is Bloherfelde market square, with five additional venues in the district — from the church and cafés to the schoolyard. The programme ranges from concerts and theatre performances to visual arts and workshops for children.
The 2026 edition is planned for September; the exact date will be announced soon (the festival took place from 19 to 21 September 2025). The organiser is the citizens' initiative Bloherfelde, which is currently collecting donations for the 2026 event.

A Festival by Neighbours for Neighbours
Since its inception, Kulturfestival Bloherfel.de has been a community project: local residents organise, programme, set up, and take down. The citizens' initiative Bloherfelde coordinates the artists, venues, and logistics. Sponsorships, donations, and grants from the City of Oldenburg secure the financing. This makes the festival a model for sustainable neighbourhood culture in Oldenburg.
The Market Square as a Meeting Point
Bloherfelde market square is the heart of the festival. The main stage is set up here, and it's also where catering, social areas, and the opening event are concentrated. During the day, there are family programmes, and in the evenings, the main concerts. For a long weekend, the square becomes the social centre of the neighbourhood — a function that the area, otherwise dominated by shopping traffic, rarely fulfils.
Five Additional Venues
Beyond the market square, the festival uses five other locations in the district: churches, schoolyards, cafés, and smaller squares. This decentralised structure invites strolling and turns Bloherfelde into a stage. Theatre, readings, workshops, and art installations are spread throughout the neighbourhood — visitors to the festival get to know the district in a new way.
Donations for 2026
Like many community festivals, Kulturfestival Bloherfel.de relies on donations. For the 2026 edition, the citizens' initiative is currently seeking supporters — both financially and in terms of volunteers. Information is available on bloherfel.de and via the Oldenburg Tourism event page.
Kulturfestival Bloherfel.de — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of Kulturfestival Bloherfel.de will take place in September 2026 — the exact weekend will be published by the organiser in Spring 2026. The previous edition from 19 to 21 September 2025 serves as a reference.
Bloherfelde market square will once again be the main venue, supplemented by five other locations in the district. The citizens' initiative Bloherfelde is currently collecting donations for its realisation. The programme will include music, theatre, visual arts, and family activities, following the established concept of a community-organised neighbourhood festival.
Citizens' Initiative Relying on Donations
Kulturfestival Bloherfel.de 2026 will be realised exclusively by volunteers from the citizens' initiative Bloherfelde. Sponsors, donations, and grants cover artist fees, stage technology, and logistics. The initiative is currently calling on neighbourhood residents and festival friends to offer their support so that the usual programme level can be achieved.
Decentralised Format
As in previous years, the festival will use Bloherfelde market square as the main venue and five other locations in the district. This structure ensures that the festival turns the entire neighbourhood into a stage and fosters encounters between residents, artists, and festival guests.
