Dionysiusplatz – Urban Stage
Dionysiusplatz is located directly in Krefeld's city centre, a five-minute walk from the main train station, connecting Ostwall and Rheinstraße. The square is regularly used for city festivals and open-air events in the summer. The surrounding buildings and trees provide pleasant acoustics and shaded spots – ideal for a three-day street food festival.
Krefeld – The Velvet and Silk City
With approximately 230,000 inhabitants, Krefeld is one of the ten largest cities in North Rhine-Westphalia and the seat of an independent administrative district. The former world capital of silk processing today maintains a lively city centre life, with city festivals, the Lower Rhine Carnival, and several street food and music festivals in spring and summer.
