A notice from IBH
Get ready for an exciting weekend on the Schlossstraße, Bensberg! The IBH (Interest Group Bensberg Trade and Commerce e. V.) alongside XDREAM-Events have crafted an enticing lineup for the Schlossstadtfest. Families are warmly welcome! On Sunday, June 15, from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the Sunday shopping will follow the festivities.
From Saturday, starting at 11:00 AM, the Schlossstraße will open up a world of curiosities. Post the construction at the beginning of the Schlossstraße, the Schloss Apotheke is all set to host a popular second-hand book sale, benefiting a noble cause.
Expect a variety of traders displaying their diverse merchandise, some of which are even homemade! The local retailers extend an invitation for shopping.
In addition to the Great Bensberger KG of 1968 red-white e. V.'s cake and waffle stand, the Karnevalsgesellschaft Lästige Stänedräger e. V. will be back with their homemade potato pancakes. The Bergische Geschichtsverein Rhein-Berg e. V. will also be on hand, ready to share the rich history of Schlossstadt Bensberg.
Our little hearts are dear: Bounce high on a bungee trampoline with a canopy of rubber ropes. Young daredevils can burn off energy jumping on a Belkaw jumping castle or taking a spin on a beautiful carousel.
While the children frolic, adults can unwind with music and a cool drink, perhaps accompanied by some fresh potato pancakes or a sweet crêpe. For wine aficionados, a high-quality wine stand offers selected varieties.
During the Sunday festivities, local merchants will open their shops from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, inviting you to shop on the Bensberger Schlossstraße. Several owner-managed businesses have announced special promotions.
The children's flea market on Saturday and Sunday, from 11:00 AM, nestled in front of the Emilienbrunnen, is free and registration-free.
As in previous years, IBH vouchers will be available at the Schlossstadtfest Bensberg: Pay 90.00 €, receive a 100.00 € voucher value - available at the IBH stand.
