Summer events

At the Koblenz Wine Festival, Koblenz and the Moselle, Ahr and Middle Rhine wine-growing regions take center stage in a variety of events. We are already looking forward to the next edition of the wine festival!

Unique, unmistakable, breathtaking, multifaceted, charming - there are many attributes for the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley, which have to be lived up to every year anew musically at the most beautiful venues. The festival offers an exceptionally wide-ranging program with top-class events featuring big names and young talents.

In 1975, some residents of the old town started this festival to draw attention to the urgency of the (now completed) Altstadtrenovation. From humble beginnings, a large festival has developed that has a good reputation beyond the city limits. Music and entertainment are offered on all squares. Here you can also meet real "Schängel", listen to "Kowelenzer Platt" and possibly even hear one or two "Stekkelcher", stories from the everyday life of the people of Koblenz, some of which have only been passed down orally.

The event, which has been held every July or August since 1992, the year of Koblenz's 2000th anniversary, is attended by over 50,000 people every year. The festival of cabaret lasts three days and has been held permanently at Festung Ehrenbreitstein since 2016.

On Saturday and Sunday, selected (inter)national jugglers, walk-act artists, jugglers and clowns will fascinate and enchant visitors of all ages on stages, squares and in the domed hall under the open sky in the middle of Festung Ehrenbreitstein. On Friday and Saturday evening there will be the Variety Gala on the Sparkasse stage. The grand finale will take place on Sunday evening. The best seven performers will showcase their skills. A jury will select the winners and award the cabaret prizes to crown the weekend.

The OPEN AIR festival directly at the Deutsches Eck. the Kaiserfestival enters the next round in 2024.

3 days, 4 stages, 100,000 visitors. This is the Koblenz SchängelMarkt, the largest folk and city festival in northern Rhineland-Palatinate.

Live music with well-known bands and newcomers are just some of the many musical highlights on this weekend. Fashion shows with the latest autumn and winter fashions for the coming season provide an attractive change of pace.

On SchängelMarkt Sunday, as every year, retailers in the city center and the business park invite visitors to stroll and shop from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
