Children's festival on the
market square
August 26, 2023
Fun and games around the construction site
On August 26, 2023, KME Karlsruhe Marketing und Event GmbH and the Civil Engineering Department of the City of Karlsruhe invited children to the children's festival on the market square. Between 12 noon and 6 p.m., exciting hands-on activities for children of all ages were offered under the motto "Fun and games around the construction site". The program was free of charge.
In the children's cooking mobile of Tischlein Deck Dich e.V., children between the ages of six and ten were able to conjure up hand-sized banana cakes in small groups. The workshops started on the hour, lasted around 45 minutes and were open to ten children at a time.
Those who prefer sports and love the water could prove themselves on the surf simulator, romp around on the bouncy castle of the Sportkreisjugend Karlsruhe or refresh themselves in the paddle pool. A specialist beautician provided colorful and cheerful children's faces at the face painting. The kids were allowed to put color on paper themselves in the painting and craft pavilion by Kleine Helden Kinderevents. An XXL-Twister and two XXL-4-Gewinnt games also provided fun for young and old. And last but not least, a forklift course provided a real "construction site feeling".
A sandpit on the corner of Zähringerstrasse also offered a building site feeling, but above all a good dose of fun. From Friday afternoon to Sunday evening - and therefore beyond the children's festival - children could dig and build to their heart's content.
The flower and pyramid market as well as the "Karlsruhe meets" series of events rounded off the program and provided a marketplace experience for the whole family.
The children's festival was a measure of the city marketing as part of the construction site marketing on the occasion of the redesign of Kaiserstraße.
If you have any questions, problems or suggestions regarding the construction site situation or construction site marketing, you can contact us at any time by e-mail at kaiserstrasse@tba.karlsruhe.de at any time. Support is provided cooperatively by the civil engineering office and the KME organized.
