What is the Vanlife Festival?

The Vanlife Ferropolis Festival is a unique event that takes place every year against the impressive excavator backdrop of the Ferropolis site in Germany. The festival is specially designed for vanlife enthusiasts and offers a weekend full of music, workshops, lectures and adventure.


The Ferropolis site itself is an experience in itself. It is a former brown coal mine that has been converted into an impressive open-air museum. The huge excavators and cranes that used to work in the mine can now be admired as impressive works of art on the site. The festival uses this backdrop to create a unique atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else.


The Vanlife Ferropolis Festival is aimed at everyone who loves life on four wheels. Whether you are already an experienced vanlifer or are simply curious about this attitude to life, you will find many like-minded people at the festival and can exchange ideas with one another. There are workshops on topics such as solar technology, van conversions, vehicle repairs and sustainable travel.


In addition to the program on stage, there are also many opportunities to get active. There are guided hikes and bike tours through the area, yoga classes in the morning or kayak trips on the nearby lake. For children there are special craft workshops, a playground and doughnut evenings around the campfire.


In the evening, the party continues on and in front of the forest stage. The line-up of the Vanlife Ferropolis Festival is varied every year and offers something for every taste. What is particularly nice is that after the concerts, you can simply return to your own van and continue partying in peace or sleep. If that is too early for you, you can continue partying until late into the night in the Orangery disco.


Overall, the Vanlife Ferropolis Festival is an unforgettable experience for everyone who loves life on four wheels. The combination of music, workshops and adventure in this unique setting is something very special and lets every visitor go home with unforgettable memories.
