The goal pursued by the organizers differs significantly from the other major German festivals, as the aim is to appeal to and entertain all sections of the population, regardless of age or income.
For children and families, there is a children's and cultural area where little ones can play, splash around, and enjoy little adventures under supervision. The sports area hosts the annual FEST Cup in skateboarding and fingerboarding. The sports area also offers a wide range of other activities for fun sports enthusiasts.Â
The FEST Café, the cultural stage, and the classical music breakfast on the main stage on Sunday mornings are intergenerational offerings. The mix of young and old creates the unique "FEST atmosphere" that is praised and appreciated by many visitors.
