Celebrating your special day, "BV3"!
On a rainy Saturday in May, the heart of Düsseldorf's Bilk district came alive with the buzz of a citizen festival, marking the 50th anniversary of the city's ten districts. Amidst the ongoing construction along Friedrichstraße, the Bürgerzentrum Bilk served as a beacon of community spirit.
The festival was a melting pot of activities, with various program points scattered across the area. The square in front of the Düsseldorf Arcades, Bürgerhaus Bilk, city library, and "Schwimm in Bilk" were just a few of the locations where residents and visitors could immerse themselves in the festivities.
Notable figures graced the event, including District Mayor Dietmar Wolf, who mingled with the crowd, and Ingo Bott, who presented his latest book from the Pirlo series. Elsa Dix, a local crime novelist, captivated audiences with readings from her novel, "The Disappeared Lady."
The orchestra of the Flora-Realschule and the orchestra of the Joseph Beuys Comprehensive School enriched the atmosphere with their performances, with Swan Lake being a highlight. The Jazz City Bilk provided the perfect soundtrack for the day, their tunes echoing through the damp air.
The festival was not just about entertainment. Numerous associations, institutions, schools, city offices, and the Sport-Actionbus were present, offering a plethora of consulting services and opportunities for the youth. The Sport-Action-Bus had set up a small sports field, basketball hoop, climbing wall, and a 3x3 basketball court, encouraging physical activity amidst the celebrations.
One of the most engaging aspects of the festival was the variety of exhibitions. The opening of the exhibition "Strong Women from next door" drew much attention, showcasing the stories and achievements of local women.
Throughout the day, immediate hints about the next actions and dates were shared, keeping the spirit of the celebrations alive even after the festival ended. The stand of the city works was a bit hidden, but those who found it were rewarded with insights into the city's plans for the future.
