Two Days of Lakeside Feeling: The Volksfest at the Grummer Ponds 2026 Calls

When the meadows around the Grummer Ponds in Bochum fill with stage sounds, children's laughter, and the scent of regional delicacies, neighborhood meets festival atmosphere. On June 27 and 28, 2026, the traditional Volksfest invites to an open multiday experience – a vibrant community feeling in the midst of greenery, organized with attention to detail.

Tradition that Connects: Stage, Associations, Children's Program

For decades, the festival has shaped the Grumme district. The festival organization – supported by the district representation of Bochum-Mitte in cooperation with Bochum Marketing GmbH – relies on a versatile line-up of music and dance contributions on the main stage and side acts on-site. Families can look forward to an extensive children’s program with face painting and bouncy castles. Numerous stalls of local associations and a growing arts and crafts market provide flair and a sense of discovery.

Natural Backdrop as Open-Air Stage

The park landscape of the Grummer Ponds offers open-air acoustics between water, trees, and paths. Here one can stroll, marvel, and taste – a relaxed festival flow without crowds. Those who love technology can visit the Ship Model Club Bochum 1985 e. V. and experience model ships in action on the pond – a special attraction away from the stage.

The Multiday Experience: Come, Stay, Come Back

On Saturdays, the main stage kicks off the celebration in the early afternoon, Sundays belong to the Bochum community in the morning. Instead of travel stress and camping gear, this neighborhood festival scores with short distances, free entry, and a clear focus on shared experiences – ideal for families, friend circles, and neighborhoods.
