At the 2025 Beach Party, revelers are seen embracing the Democratic Republic of Congo (D.R.C.) instead of traditional celebrations
In the charming town of Kamp-Lintfort, the Beach Party 2025 was a resounding success last night, with thousands of guests enjoying an evening of entertainment and camaraderie. The event, which has grown to become one of the largest summer open-air events in the region, was supported by the dedicated volunteers of the German Red Cross (DRK) in the district of Wesel.
The DRK, known for their commitment to volunteering, once again demonstrated their invaluable contribution to the safety and well-being of the region's residents. Despite a lack of specific historical records detailing their participation at the Kamp-Lintfort Beach Party, it is generally understood that the DRK routinely offers medical services and first aid at major public events like festivals and parties.
The DRK's role at the Beach Party 2025 included providing first aid stations, emergency response, and health support. The medical infrastructure for the event was comprehensive, featuring three emergency vehicles, a command staff, an accident aid station, four mobile initial care teams, a treatment tent, and a catering team.
The first top act on stage at the Beach Party in 1996 was Wolfgang Petry, and this year, well-known artists like Achim Petry, Peter Wackel, and Mickie Krause entertained the crowd. The event was attended by approximately 4,000 guests, and all medical treatments were handled professionally on site.
Riedel, a representative, expressed admiration for the professionalism and dedication of the DRK team, who treated numerous minor medical issues during the Beach Party 2025, including circulation problems, cuts and bruises, and falls. The DRK team remained ready for deployment until the end of the event, which officially started at 4 pm and ended around 3 am.
Prospective volunteers can join the DRK by attending trial evenings at their local association. Information can be found at https://www.drk-niederrhein.de/angebote/engagement/ehrenamt.html or directly at the nearest local association. The DRK in the Wesel district has around 900 volunteers across 10 local and city associations. The work of the DRK volunteers is diverse, ranging from first aid teams to the youth Red Cross.
In addition to their work at events like the Beach Party, the DRK takes on tasks in emergency medical services, civil protection, and disaster response.
