Another family-friendly event takes place in the middle of May in Bergisch Gladbach, the Cologne/Bonn Region. The festival is attended by over 10,000 visitors wishing to have a good time. The program chosen for the event is always rich and original. These are musical, theatrical and dance performances leaving a mark in the memory of all who are lucky enough to join the festival, as well as the opening of the fair where you can buy a variety of products, including hand-made ones.
In the middle of May here is another event that would be appreciated by a big family. We are talking about Familien-Frühstück that is held in the city of Lohmar near Gummersbach.

Apple pancakes and apple juice are especially popular. A special program is prepared for children for whom this holiday will be one of the best memories. The event is completely free of charge.
