Aasee Festival: The Programme

From 11 to 13 August, the bathing bay at the Aasee in Bocholt will once again be transformed into a festival site. Who doesn't love it? Spending time with family or friends at one of the most beautiful places in Bocholt, listening to music, lingering, celebrating, having fun, playing and simply having a good time.

"The feedback on last year's Aasee Festival was so tremendously good that many citizens wished for a repeat, which may also be smaller. We are responding to this wish by organising a three-day summer event so that the citizens of Bocholt and, of course, all the guests of our town can look forward to a great weekend and have a wonderful time at the Bocholter Aasee," says Ludger Dieckhues, managing director of Stadtmarketing, explaining the concept. "This year, too, the entire stage and entertainment programme will be offered free of charge so that the bathing bay can be used as an open-air swimming pool from 11 to 13 August.
11 - 13 August as a nice summer excursion destination with the whole family or with friends," Dieckhues continues.

LUST FOOD TRUCK Stalls & Beach Café Ottilie

Various food trucks from the Netherlands will cater for the physical well-being, where visitors can feast to their hearts' content. For sweet treats, not only for the little guests, there will be a confectionery stand and a poffertjes van. Drinks and cocktail stands will cater for all thirsty guests all day long in what will hopefully be bright sunshine at the festival. Restaurateur Philip Traber will be catering for guests in his beach café Ottilie, which will round off the offer with its usual selection of food and drinks.

Children's play area

And the children will not be neglected on the three festival days: a large children's play area with various playground equipment will be set up at the bathing bay. The children can romp around here for free while their parents sit in the deckchairs and cushions provided with a cold drink or two and enjoy the music. In addition to bouncy castles, football darts and air hockey, they can also climb in the pirate climbing park and bounce on the bungee trampoline.

Enjoy three days at the Aasee - joint breakfast on Sunday

Friday:

All visitors can look forward to a relaxed Friday evening. From 5 p.m., the music programme at the Aasee Festival begins with chilled-out electro music by Brainstorm.

Saturday:

Saturday evening is all about partying and celebrating: from 6 pm the Radio WMW Party starts with DJ Wacho and the band "Live and Famous" - who will sweep their audience away with a modern sound.

Sunday:

Sunday morning, everyone can pack their picnic basket and have a cosy breakfast at the Aasee to the sounds of DJ Max Hünting. Breakfast can look different at beer tent tables or on blankets. Family and friends can start the day together with a picnic - table reservations for regulars' tables, groups of friends, families or other groups are possible here free of charge. Coffee for breakfast is of course also available at Strandcafé Ottilie.

In the afternoon, Stefan Paßerschröer will perform his music. Afterwards, the Aasee Festival will wind down to the individual sounds of Django Flint.

Another highlight on Sunday, 13 August, is the 2nd BOCHOLT classic meeting: from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., a large young and oldtimer meeting for motorbikes and automobiles will take place on the Aasee Festwiese.
