Good Morning Festival 2026: Future Courage Meets Festival Atmosphere in Bochum

On Sunday, June 7, 2026, the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum will reopen its doors for the Good Morning Festival – a free mix of sustainability fair, talks, workshops, and live program. Organized by GLS Bank, the iconic industrial cathedral will become a meeting point for people, ideas, and organizations seeking a social-ecological multi-day experience with a sense of community.

Ideas That Move: From Future Talks to Hands-on Workshops

The festival organization relies on a curated lineup featuring future talks, side-stage formats, and participatory offers. The program includes insights into financial literacy, organic agriculture, education, and civil society – practical, discursive, and inspiring. The open-air acoustics in the forecourt and the hall atmosphere in Hall 4 provide the perfect sound space for debates and impulses.

Festival Grounds with Heart: Street Food, Family Offers, Accessibility

Between the main stage and workshop areas, festival feeling awaits: street food market with organic drinks, many vegan and vegetarian options, free cloakroom, and childcare for children aged 3 and up. The Jahrhunderthalle is accessible; corresponding sanitary facilities are located in the basement of the foyer.

Community First: A Meeting Point for Exhibitors and Visitors

More than 100 exhibitors showcase solutions for tomorrow – from startups to NGOs. Fixed opening hours apply to the exhibition areas, seamlessly integrating with the stage and supporting program. The result: festival culture with content, artist lineups in talks, and a venue that ignites networking magic.

Saturday Highlight: Pop on the Open-Air Stage

Already on Saturday, June 6, the German-British singer Alice Merton will make a musical statement on the open-air stage – ideal for starting the multi-day experience with a concert evening and diving deeper into talks and workshops on Sunday.
