On July 20, 2025, Haus am Waldsee opened its garden for the all-day summer festival. Admission to the festival grounds was free; for the exhibition “How Frequency The Eye” by Josephine Pryde, regular admission applied (€9 / €6 reduced). The program featured five artistic interventions and several readings, workshops, and concerts:

• 1:00 PM–3:00 PM — Dario Wokurka: “Water Bar” with curated mineral waters, accompanied by a video work on the monochrome watercolor series

• 2:00 PM–4:00 PM — Luise Bichler: Family workshop, painting with ice cubes, water guns, and brushes on large fabric panels hung in the garden
• 4:00 PM — Franco Mazzucchelli: Performance with inflatable PVC sculptures, “movement and transformation” in an interactive public art format
• 5:00 PM — Yade Nargis: Dramatic reading from Tezer Özlü's 1982 Berlin work on introspection and cultural pilgrimage
• 7:00 PM — CTM & Frederik Worm: Open-air concert with cello compositions, photography, and text

The café service with culinary offerings and drinks ran concurrently. The reading with Jenny Erpenbeck and the plant print workshop were among the most attended program items.
