ExtraSchicht im Innenhafen Duisburg

Beach Art Festival

A taste of the beach right in the heart of the city: The Inner Harbor is transformed into a summer-themed experience area, featuring select sand sculptures as a special artistic highlight.
But the sand is just the beginning: paintings and a variety of artistic works complement the festivities and transform the area into a vibrant open-air gallery. Between the art and the sky, an atmosphere full of lightness and inspiration takes shape.

The man-made city beach offers space to linger, while a diverse selection of food and drink, featuring summery snacks and refreshing beverages, ensures a delightful experience.

In the sand lab, visitors can get creative themselves and try out sand painting techniques. The highlight is the grand sand painting show with live music—a poetic interplay of image, sound, and movement on a large screen.
