Schlosspark Open Pforzheim

At Schlosspark Open 2025, thousands of visitors once again flocked to Pforzheim's Schlosspark over three days. The well-established three-day concept – Friday electronic music, Saturday indie rock and German pop, Sunday family day – ensured a balanced audience across all generations. The food trucks offered handbrot, waffles, and Swabian cuisine, while bars and picnic areas were spread throughout the park. The festival once again confirmed the organizer Kulturhaus Osterfeld's thesis: free, highly curated festival culture is possible in the heart of a medium-sized city like Pforzheim – it only works if the program aims to compete with commercial festivals.
