About Blossom Festival Blankenburg

Every August, the Blossom Festival transforms Blankenburg's town park into a small festival world between the sunbathing lawn and the concert stage. Three days of live music, a medieval market, children's festival, and a traders' mile at the foot of the Great Castle — admission free. In 2026, the festival runs from August 7th to 9th.

The Blossom Town in the Harz Foothills Celebrates Itself

Blankenburg bears the epithet Blossom Town on the Harz and turns this designation into a three-day festival once a year. The expansive town park becomes the focal point: a main stage in the pavilion, traders along the paths, food trucks between the trees, a dedicated children's area, and — as a special feature — a medieval market that opens early Friday. The festival is free and deliberately aimed at locals and Harz visitors alike.

Blankenburg is located in the Harz district in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, on the northern edge of the Harz Mountains. The Great Castle towers over the town, while the Baroque Gardens and the Little Castle are directly opposite the festival grounds. A town festival could hardly ask for a better stage. Ideally, you'll combine your festival visit with a hike to the Teufelsmauer, an excursion to Thale, or a stroll through the old town with its half-timbered houses.

Blossom Festival Blankenburg — edition 2026

The 2026 Blossom Festival runs for three days in Blankenburg town park. Stage program, medieval market, children's area, and traders — admission remains free.

Friday marks a relaxed start to the festival: the medieval market opens in the early afternoon, the first food stalls begin serving, and the first performance on the pavilion stage follows in the evening. Saturday and Sunday feature the main program on the stage, with concerts in the evenings, trader offerings, and a designated children's festival area. Exact bands and performance times will be published by the tourism office in summer 2026.
