Libori festival 2024: A spectacle for the whole family in Paderborn

The Libori Festival 2024 in Paderborn is in full swing and moves numerous visitors to the city. From July 27th to August 4th, people can look forward to a variety of attractions that shape the cityscape and strengthen the sense of community.

special meaning of the Libori festival

The Libori festival not only has a festive character, but also a religious origin. It celebrates the arrival of the bones of St. Liborius, which is considered a patron saint of Paderborn. This tradition, which goes back to 836, symbolizes the close connection between Paderborn and the French city of Le Mans - one of the oldest town twinning in the world. The citizens remind such festivals of their common history and promote identification with their homeland.

rides and attractions

This year, visitors can expect over 150 different showmen who are represented with numerous rides on the fun fair mile. The “Europa Rad” cable car, for example, offers a breathtaking view from a height of 53 meters, while the “Fortress Tower” promises pure thrill with about 80 meters as a pure free fall tower. There is a wide range of child -friendly rides for the little ones. This mixture addresses a variety of age groups and makes the festival a real family experience.

opening times and events

The fun fair on the Liboriberg can be visited on various days: on the opening day, July 27, from 2 p.m. to midnight and on the following days from 11 a.m. to midnight. This gives visitors enough opportunity to enjoy the numerous offers. In addition, there is a Sunday open for sales on August 4th, which is celebrated in the city center from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The grand finale: fireworks

Another highlight of the Libori festival is the large fireworks display, which is planned for the last day. This spectacle, which is shot down from the garden of the Leokon Vikt in the southern part of the city, promises breathtaking lighting effects of up to 150 meters. The anticipation of this final is already noticeable among the residents and visitors. "We are particularly looking forward to the large music fireworks, which will take place for the first time this year," says Jens Reinhardt, who is responsible for organizing the festival at the city.

a festival for the community

The Libori festival is more than just a fun fair-it is a place of encounters. It offers people the opportunity to come together, to maintain traditions and to celebrate life in Paderborn. The many attractions, the historical background and the festive atmosphere strengthen the sense of community and promote social cohesion in the city. In times when many people are looking for community, such a festival is invaluable.
