Chursächsischer Sommer — Bad Elster

28th Edition 2025 — Cross-Border Tradition

The Chursächsischer Sommer 2025 confirmed its reputation as the largest cultural festival of the European Spa Region. From May 1 to October 5, 2025, around 300 events of all genres took place — classical, jazz, theater, readings, open-air spectacles — with the Chursächsische Philharmonie as the festival orchestra.

Bad Elster once again served as the main hub with the König-Albert-Theater and the Königliches Kurhaus; 40 partner venues in Saxony, Bavaria, Bohemia, and Thuringia expanded the cross-border reach.
