Kinderfest Mannheim

In the organizer's words:

Children's festival in Mannheim - be there and celebrate with us!

From May 23 to 25, 2025, Mannheim will once again be the place to play, sing, dance, do gymnastics and get creative when the Kapuzinerplanken is transformed into a huge adventure playground. For the 20th time, Mannheim is celebrating the popular children's festival as part of the city festival, which offers a colorful program of hands-on stations, stands and stage shows for children and families.

The Mannheim Planetarium will be taking part for the first time this year. At its stand, young astronomers can look up to the stars with telescopes and even observe the sun.

As every year, the circus ring of the children's and youth circus Paletti e.V. invites you to great performances and gives young artists the opportunity to try out new tricks themselves. The AOK stand will also be sporty: simply hop on an oatmeal bike, pedal and then take home the muesli you have pedaled yourself.

Popular attractions such as the Heidelberg fairytale paradise's gold panning facility, the rnv children's streetcar and the games offered by "Urmel - really good toys" will make explorers' hearts beat faster.

The stands of the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen and the Kunsthalle Mannheim offer young artists many opportunities to get creative.

A colorful stage program takes children on a journey through the musical diversity of the city - from classical music by the Kurpfälzisches Kammerorchester to flamenco, hip hop, breakdancing and Bollywood dances. The Drum Circle invites even the youngest children to join in the drumming and magician Linus Faber delights with his magic show. Following last year's success, the Mannheim-Ludwigshafen International Film Festival is also a partner of the Children's Festival with a cinema program at the Cineplex, as is the Mannheim State University of Music and Performing Arts with its children's music dance festival.

These and many other surprises await the young guests and are completely free of charge thanks to the main sponsors GBG Mannheim and rnv as well as many other sponsors and partners.

Opening hours: Friday from 2 - 6 pm, Saturday and Sunday 11 am - 6 pm.
