FESTIVAL INFO

Dear festival visitors!

It's time for something new!

Since the previous hall is no longer available to us, and we would like to make it even more pleasant and even more enjoyable for all participants and visitors, we have decided to organize all festival activities (shows, trade fair, contest, workshops, overnight stays, catering, Social program, etc.) under one roof. We are pleased to announce that we have booked the entire Congress Center Oberhausen for our 27th OFE for 2020. An excellent location with excellent transport links, which meets all expectations and exceeds all your expectations!

We look forward to an even grandiose, nicer and more enjoyable OFE in 2020!

Since the CCO only had an appointment for us until the end of November 2020, there will be the following new and wonderful events in Duisburg-Wedau before the festival:
