Holiday Program of the Diakonie at Ilse-Kibgis-Platz: Play, Encounter, and Summer Air for Families
On Friday, August 28, 2026, the holiday program of the Diakonie invites children and families in Gelsenkirchen to a free afternoon event in the open air. From 14:00 to 17:00, Ilse-Kibgis-Platz in Horst will become a place for shared experiences, small discoveries, and lively holiday moments.
A Place That Wants to Be Experienced Anew
Ilse-Kibgis-Platz is part of a temporary test space created as part of the feasibility study for the redesign of the square. This creates a special atmosphere for families: children experience a place that is in transition and discover it as a space for play, encounters, and shared activities.
Holiday Time with Educational Value
The program focuses on child-friendly, open experiences in nature. This is particularly valuable for families: children can move, make social contacts, and perceive their surroundings playfully. This strengthens self-confidence, orientation, and the joy of doing things together. The open format of the afternoon fits well with holidays, where learning, movement, and children's laughter belong together.
Family-Friendly, Free, and Uncomplicated
Especially attractive for families: the date is free of charge. Thus, the holiday program of the Diakonie is suitable for a spontaneous outing without major hurdles. Those looking for a relaxed summer afternoon with children will find here an uncomplicated family experience with added value.
What Families Can Expect On-Site
The venue is located at Ilse-Kibgis-Platz in Gelsenkirchen-Horst. The address is centrally accessible, and the square is currently being rethought as part of urban development. Public information indicates that the square has primarily been used as a sealed area with parking function; at the same time, the idea is to make it more climate-adapted and livable. For families, this means: an urban place with experimental character and plenty of space for shared experiences.
Conclusion: The holiday program of the Diakonie combines free time, play, and encounters with an exciting view of the future of the neighborhood. Families experience a free summer afternoon that piques children's curiosity and fills shared time with value. Those seeking simple, open, and child-friendly holiday moments should experience the event live.
