Event

On the second family Sunday, Eichhorn & purple dog are great fun for children! It's off to the concerts with the rapped truth about "Alle meine Entchen": there's "Rumble on the Teich" and everyone joins in with the boom-boom-chop of the "We will rock you" beat. But who is this purple dog that everyone is always talking about? The purple dog is that warm feeling in your tummy when you're having fun with all your friends! It's there live and everyone can feel it.

Of course, there will also be a hands-on program.
With a journey back in time to the time of the lion men! While the Ulm Museum is being renovated, we are bringing archaeology to the Wilhelmsburg. Inspired by ancient painting techniques, we will create a paint box like thousands of years ago and experiment with self-made paints from plants and soil.

Open Tower 2.0 - art, creativity and exchange
This year, the Kehlturm is once again part of the festival: the open cultural space for creative projects is entering its second round in the Open Tower format. Following the successful first test phase, the concept will be further developed this year and this time will even be brought to life over a longer period of time.
Visitors can expect a diverse mix of interactive installations, exhibitions, open studios, Ulm craftsmanship and scientific formats. Some projects specifically invite active participation.
The tower thus becomes a lively place of exchange and encounters that constantly opens up new perspectives. Those who make it to the top are rewarded with a roof terrace with a rooftop bar and a wonderful view over the whole of Ulm.

Opening hours:
Thursday: 17:00-23:00
Friday + Saturday: 17:00-24:00
Sunday: 14:00-21:00
