Summer festival in Viernheim: Celebrate together against dementia!
On June 25, 2025, the Viernheim Dementia Network invites you to a summer festival on Apostle Square from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. This event is aimed at all citizens of Viernheim as well as guests from the surrounding communities. People with dementia and their relatives are particularly targeted. The festival opens under the motto “Dementia – courageous together” and begins at 2 p.m. with an ecumenical service organized by Pastor Klaus Traxler and community leader Herbert Kohl Viernheim-online.de reported.
After the service, which ends at around 2:45 p.m., visitors can look forward to coffee, cake and live music. The program offers numerous opportunities to exchange ideas, dance and linger, as well as information on the topic of dementia. An information stand from the dementia network will be available to present support offers from the region. A highlight is the dementia course, which simulates everyday situations for people with dementia at two stations.

The city library’s “Flitzi” bookmobile will offer specialist literature on the subject of dementia, while “Vanellas Spielewelt” will present games for seniors.
