The Festival of Diversity
From 2 p.m. until late in the evening we celebrated the Festival of Diversity on the banks of the Rhine
A holiday of sense and the senses – diversity has thousands of faces, tastes, drinks, traditions, songs and treats. We invited professional and amateur farmers and gardeners, seed producers and propagators, chefs and food producers to present the diversity of their products, varieties and plants to be seen and smelled, shared and tasted. It was a great Festival of Diversity, to which we invited the people and families of Bonn, Cologne and surrounding areas as well as all friends from Europe and the world. With theatre, music, animals, plants, seeds, actions, dance and music, videos, presentations of all kinds and thematic pavilions we celebrated the diversity of life. See the 
Pavilions' programm and the Supporting Organisations
