Westfalenpark's Friends Group Extends Invitation to Waterfront Café's Farewell Bash
The Westfalenpark Friends Association e.V. is inviting all park fans to an open-air party titled "Smoke and Music on the Water" on August 16, 2025. The event will take place from 5 pm to 10 pm, before the demolition of the iconic "Café by the Water Basins" that has been a part of the park since 1959.
This open-air party will be held on the outdoor areas of the café and restaurant by the water basins. The event is free of charge apart from the regular park entrance fee. Drinks and snacks will be available for purchase.
"Smoke and Music on the Water" is expected to feature a mix of live music performances, appealing to a broad audience. The band "Braut Mary and the Hasty Kings" will provide musical entertainment, playing a repertoire that includes blues and rock classics from J.J. Cale, Eric Clapton, John Mayall, Dire Straits, The Rolling Stones, and The Doors.
The location "on the water" suggests the event might be held near a lake or pond in the Westfalenpark, providing a scenic backdrop and possibly additional activities like boating or water-related leisure. The atmosphere is expected to be festive, offering opportunities for socializing, enjoying music, and outdoor relaxation.
Small surprises for the guests are planned during the open-air party. An information stand by the Westfalenpark Friends Association will be available, providing insights into past actions and planned projects. The Association, which consists of approximately 160 volunteers, is also recruiting new supporters.
It is important to note that the Westfalenpark is undergoing renewal in preparation for the International Garden Exhibition in 2027. Construction work will begin in September, including the demolition of the "Café by the Water Basins". A modern replacement building with state-of-the-art technology and equipment will be built in the same location.
During construction, a mobile pavilion will provide catering services nearby. For precise details on the types of food options, additional activities, and other updates, I recommend visiting the official Westfalenpark Friends Association e.V. website or contacting their event organisers directly closer to the date.
The Westfalenpark Friends Association cordially invites all park fans, including current café guests, association members, and interested parties, to join them for an evening of "Smoke and Music on the Water" on August 16, 2025.
The upcoming "Smoke and Music on the Water" event will offer a blend of live music performances and a festive atmosphere, taking place on outdoor areas around the home-and-garden setting by the water basins. In addition to music, guests can explore the lifestyle offerings at the information stand by the Westfalenpark Friends Association, which includes insights into their past actions, planned projects, and volunteer recruitment.
