The horse race course, located in the Grafenberger Wald, is the perfect place for a peerless festival.
In the heart of nature, pure idyll, but close to the city and easily accessible. We claim with good reason: its one of the most beautiful festival locations in Germany.

Four stages, the Open Squares, a lot of food and drinks and artistic interventions everywhere.
Mainstage
The Mainstage offers everything the festival-heart desires: spacious grassland for dancing or lying around, a roofed stand to shelter from the blazing sun (of course), and a perfectly equipped stage, providing great sound and a good view from all around.

Close by you’ll find lots of food stalls which worth a visit at every time. The Open Squares, our gallery of ideas, has got even bigger and is located on the ‚Führring’ of the racecourse.

Open Squares
The Open Squares have become established as a pop-up gallery for young creatives from NRW.
On a 3x3m big ground they can present their ideas to a huge audience and connect with other creatives.
KHM x OSF
Betting offices, raised stands, horse stalls: Where usually betting slips, horses and spectators find room, works by students of KHM Köln specially designed for the festival day provide insights into current artistic positions.
