Energy Arena: Sports Up Close – Beach Handball, Soccer & More

In the Energy Arena, sports clubs showcase their skills and invite attendees to try out. Beach handball, beach soccer, or badminton in the sand convey genuine open-air feeling. Those cheering along can feel the community spirit of the festival family – approachable, participatory, fair.

Little Electric Kids' Land: Adventures for the Little Ones

Bouncing, climbing, splashing: The Little Electric Kids' Land creates safe play areas for families. Mascots greet the kids, who romp at age-appropriate stations. Short distances, shaded areas, and beach vibes make it easier to plan the day with children.
