Festivities in Ossenberg reach a rhythmic crescendo as 300 drummers take to the streets during the food festival
The Ossenberg Streetfood Festival 2021, held from September 11th to 12th, brought a vibrant array of culinary delights to the Rheinberg district. The two-day event featured a diverse range of street food vendors, live entertainment, and family-friendly activities.
The festival, which took place at the Ossenberg area, showcased a wide variety of food from both local and international cuisines. Gourmet burgers, vegan options, Asian specialties, and classic street snacks were just a few of the tantalising treats on offer.
In addition to the food, the festival offered live music performances, craft beverages, and opportunities to mingle with food vendors. For dessert lovers, crepes and ice cream were available, while sweet tooths could indulge in Streetfood Souvlaki, offered by Elisavet.
For those with a taste for Turkish or Balcanico cuisine, Majid El Fahmi and Mido had you covered with their offerings of Adana, köfte, and ćevapi & đuveč. Vegans, meat lovers, and fish lovers alike found something to their liking at the festival.
The Super Drum Show XXL, a separate event, added an explosive and loud twist to the festivities. Marco Launert from the Rock School in Hamminkeln promised a spectacular show, and a surprise awaited attendees at the end. Sascha Pöpping from the Drum Studio in Bocholt aimed to turn visitors into super drummers in an hour during the show.
The Super Drum Show XXL was designed for all ages, with a bouncy castle and ball pit available for younger visitors around 3 pm on Sunday. For the older crowd, DJ Marcel provided late summer house & club beats from 7 pm, and dancing was allowed but ended at midnight.
The festival also featured a craft market and flea market, which opened from 1 pm on Sunday. Over 25 food stalls were set up, and Andreas Beuscher, the organiser, promised a colourful mix of cuisines at the event.
To make the most of the festival, attendees were advised to check the official event site or social media channels for precise details, as the exact hours and vendor line-up could vary. The Ossenberg Streetfood Festival now has its own homepage: www.ossenberg-streetfood.de.
The festivities kicked off with the festival's opening by Mayor Dietmar Heyde at 6 pm on Friday, and the Super Drum Show XXL took place on Saturday at 1 pm. The Samoas, who have built a fan base in Rheinberg, participated for the 4th time at the festival.
