Neustadt Spring Festival — Lebenshilfe

Lebenshilfe Neustadt — Decades of Commitment to Inclusion in the Vorderpfalz

Lebenshilfe Neustadt an der Weinstraße supports people with intellectual disabilities throughout their lives: from early intervention and school education to vocational training and leisure activities. The Georg-Jungmann-Haus is one of the central locations, housing residential groups as well as administrative and meeting rooms. The extensive garden serves as the venue for the spring festival once a year.

A Festival of Encounters

The spring festival is deliberately designed to be accessible. There is no admission fee, no reserved seating, no tightly scheduled stage choreography — instead, there are standing tables, a small stage, coffee and cake stands, bratwurst, children's drinks, and a varied program of music, dance, and short speeches. Residents from the living groups perform together with volunteers, regional bands play pro bono, and children can craft, get their faces painted, or play in the garden.

Solidarity and Donation Impact

The proceeds from the sale of food, drinks, and crafts go directly to the work of Lebenshilfe Neustadt — for example, for leisure trips, assistive devices, or the modernization of living spaces. Those who visit the festival thus support concrete local projects.

Tip for First-Time Visitors

The festival is particularly suitable for families with small children and for anyone who wants to experience a relaxed spring afternoon in a green setting — without the pressure of admission fees, without hustle and bustle, with the opportunity to engage in conversation.
