Leo celebrates: A festival for children who enchanted Alsfeld!

Alsfeld, Deutschland - in Alsfeld is currently all sorts of things going! The second children's festival "Leo celebrates" transforms the city into a real party paradise. From June 28 to June 29, 2025, many families flocked to the city hall forecourt and the adjacent parking spaces to take part in an exciting program. The festival is organized by the city of Alsfeld in cooperation with the retail association and the former tourist association "Asactive". Particularly exciting: the festival is one of ten stations in the nationwide Toggo tour, which gives the whole even more swing. As reported [Oberhessische-zeitung.de] (https://www.oberhessische-zeitung.de/vogelsbergkreis/alsfeld/Aalsfeld-im- exceptionally-93808454.html), Mayor Stephan Paule expressed his satisfaction after the high number of visitors and the positive feedback from participants and helpers.

A real highlight was the concert with over 200 kindergarten children who levied their voices under the direction of the musician Jürgen Litzka. The talented Litzka wrote a special song especially for the festival, which was well received not only among the young artists, but also with the spectators. The bands "Halb6" and "Bandsalad" also provided musical entertainment. The program had something to offer for every child: with demanding entertainment from "Ikke Hüpfburg" and "Ricky Sause" you managed to make the children's eyes shine.

a colorful participation program

What would a children's festival be without hands-on activities? In the city center, the little visitors expected numerous stands that invited to participate. There were a lot of exciting offers from a craftsman mile to a water construction site to Leo's farm. A bobby car race and handicrafts were also part of the hustle and bustle. The festival also received support from district forester Tobias Behlen, who offered campaigns for forest education for children. A special experience for the little guests was the Toggo-Kosmos, where they could find lifelike TV stars such as Spongebob and the Paw Patrol. These attractions ensured that many families came by for unforgettable memory photos.

The competition of the city of Alsfeld, which was offered in the course of the festival, was also very popular. Participation was free of charge and only required filling out a pass that could then be handed in in the tourist center. The competition was accessible to all natural persons with residence in Germany - without hidden conditions and regardless of the acquisition of goods or services. The event was very well received and will take place again next year. This was confirmed by the organizers and the positive response from the participants gives hope for an equally colorful sequel next year.

After a successful first day, it remains to be seen whether the number of visitors of the previous year could be reached. For the city of Alsfeld, the organizers and the many helpers, this success was a nice confirmation of their efforts. It remains exciting how the festival will continue to grow in the coming year and sets new highlights. If you don't want to miss the unique atmosphere and the great offers, you should already enter the appointment for the next year in the calendar!
