An unprecedented attempt to set a world record for happiness takes place at the Happiness Festival
The much-anticipated Glücksgefühl Festival, scheduled to take place at the Hockenheimring from 12th to 15th September 2024, is set to be a memorable event, thanks to an exciting collaboration between Schauinsland-Reisen and football legend Lukas Podolski.
In a playful representation of Schauinsland-Reisen's focus on holidays, the sea, the beach, and water fun, the duo plans to present the world's largest octopus made of balloons at the festival. This spectacle is inspired by the diversity of happiness, as depicted in Shelby Van Pelt's bestselling novel "Das Glück hat acht Arme" and the story of Otto Oktopus from "Kattas Welt".
Schauinsland-Reisen and Podolski hope to receive a world record certificate for the XXL balloon octopus on the 14th of September. The Record-Institut für Deutschland (RID) will announce whether the balloon octopus is indeed the largest of its kind worldwide on that day.
The festival itself promises to be a grand affair, with performances by renowned artists and DJs such as the Backstreet Boys, Die Fantastischen Vier, Purple Disco Machine, Jan Delay, and Tokio Hotel. The special highlight, however, is the planned world record attempt.
In addition to the music, the HAPPY BEACH, designed by Schauinsland-reisen especially for the festival, will bring real beach vibes. Visitors can enjoy professional beach-ready hair styling and festival makeup, various games, cool photo spots, a surf simulator, a silent disco, and a free GLÜCKSPASS.
For children and families, Schauinsland-reisen GmbH offers a cross-media offer at www.kattas-welt.de. The festival is expected to attract over 200,000 visitors.
Press representatives can register for the world record announcement by sending an email to [email protected]. The balloons used for the world record attempt are made from natural rubber and are biodegradable, ensuring minimal impact on the environment.
