On Thursday, September 17, 2026, TUD invites students and staff with families to a lively family festival in the courtyard of the Fritz-Foerster Building from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The diverse program hopefully has something for everyone:

From the robot dog SPOT to the “Katze Q” gaming lounge —science comes to life in a playful way here.
The band “Zugabe,” the interactive circus “Chaos,” and the TUD Children’s and Youth Dance Studio will keep the mood lively.
There will be plenty of opportunities to get active, too: The University Sports Center will provide sports and play equipment, and the university fire department invites you to try its target spraying challenge—including a peek inside the fire truck.
With a children’s clothing swap, photo booth, face painting, craft station, wheel of fortune, and information booths, it’s sure to be an eventful afternoon.
Whether you’re a little or very hungry, we’ve got you covered—look forward to a delicious selection of food and drinks.

This festival is once again supported this year by numerous partners, including the Dresden Student Services (Studentenwerk Dresden) and the dm - drogeriemarkt GmbH + Co. KG branch at Nürnberger Platz in Dresden—we’d like to express our heartfelt thanks to them.
