Gathering in Kurpark: Thousands flock for DJ Festival in garden setting
In the heart of Hamm, Germany, the city's Kurpark was transformed into a vibrant and enchanting green oasis on August 9, 2025, as the "Welcome to my Garden" festival took centre stage[1][5]. With over 20 DJs performing electronic music genres ranging from EDM to techno on two stages, the atmosphere was electric, filled with captivating beats and relaxing chillout zones[1].
The festival, a special event for the city according to Mayor Hamm, was a celebration of music, nature, and the spirit of escapism[1]. The Glitter Garden and the Hidden Forest were popular destinations, offering immersive experiences that drew visitors into a world of deep bass sounds, delicious food, and ice-cold drinks[1].
The festival's unique thematic setting and diverse music offerings attracted a sizable crowd, although the exact number of visitors remains unspecified[1][5]. The overwhelmingly positive visitor reactions, as reflected in social media posts and live streams, highlight the event's vibrant community atmosphere[3][4].
Singer Loona, known for hits like "Vamos a la Playa," "Bailando," and "La Luna," made a surprise appearance at the festival, performing with DJ Steff Da Campo[2]. For many festival-goers, the "Welcome to my Garden" festival has become a yearly highlight, with its friendly and celebratory atmosphere leaving a lasting impression[6].
As the festival came to a close, the news of its success spread, with the event being completely sold out and attracting thousands of visitors[3]. The positive impact of the festival extends beyond the music, as Eurobahn, the local transport company, has announced plans for improvements in Hamm and its surroundings[7].
The "Welcome to my Garden" festival has undoubtedly left a mark on Hamm, and the city's residents are already eagerly anticipating its return next year[6]. As the festival continues to grow, it promises to bring more magic, music, and memories to the city and its visitors.
