The 13th International Street Art Festival is set to take place in Wilhelmshaven's city centre this weekend, from Friday, August 1 to Sunday, August 3, 2025. This exciting event, organised by Wilhelmshaven Touristik & Freizeit GmbH, will see over 90 graffiti artists from around the world converge on the city, transforming the interior of the 2 Parkhaus in der Stadthalle Wilhelmshaven with their creations[1].
The scale of the event is significant, with a large number of artists involved in graffiti work throughout the venue. However, the specific names of the participating artists and details about their planned creations are not yet available in the search results. For detailed artist lists and planned works, checking the official Spray-WATT Festival Instagram page or contacting the festival organisers directly would be the best course of action[1].
One artist confirmed to be participating is Melina Berg, who plans to create a giant 3D image on the Valois square. The festival will feature artworks in the categories of "Free Art", "Copy", and "3D". Artists participating in the festival come from various countries, including Italy, France, Mexico, Japan, USA, Germany, and the Netherlands[1].
The festival is unique in that both the audience and the artists themselves will decide the winners. Unfortunately, the weather is a potential concern, with meteorologists predicting mixed weather with rain showers and dry periods over the weekend.
This is an exciting opportunity for Wilhelmshaven to showcase its vibrant culture and artistic community. The festival will not only provide a platform for local artists but also attract international talent, creating a truly global event. So, make sure to head down to Wilhelmshaven this weekend and witness the transformation of the city centre by some of the world's best street artists.
