Open-air concert series at the Kulturkiosk in the Wilhelminenaue
The "Zur Seebühne" Kulturkiosk is located in the Wilhelminenaue, a spacious park in the city of Bayreuth in the Upper Franconia administrative region. In summer, the kiosk by the water becomes an open-air stage, offering one of the most charming venues in the festival city.
The concert series is part of Bayreuth Summertime, a joint summer programme supported by the city's Friedrichsforum and several Bayreuth cultural organizers. It complements the larger Seebühne festival in the Wilhelminenaue with intimate open-air evenings at the Kulturkiosk.
Musically, the series is deliberately broad: the spectrum ranges from Austropop to rock and Rock'n'Roll-Comedy to world music. This brings together a variety of styles, appealing to a diverse audience that appreciates the relaxed atmosphere by the water.
Characteristic are the atmospheric evenings with concerts and sunsets over the lake. The combination of music and landscape makes the Kulturkiosk a special place within Bayreuth's summer cultural offerings.
Known primarily for the Richard Wagner Festival, Bayreuth showcases an accessible, popular side of its cultural life with Summertime and the Kulturkiosk, enriching the summer programme in Upper Franconia.
In summer 2026, the "Zur Seebühne" Kulturkiosk in the Wilhelminenaue will once again transform into an open-air stage. The July phase of the series runs from July 4th to 17th.
The programme includes Austropop with Granada, Rock'n'Roll-Comedy with Bembers, and world music with Quadro Nuevo, among others. In addition to the Kulturkiosk series, the nearby Seebühne will be transformed into a festive open-air arena in August.
