About Diepholz City Festival

The Diepholz City Festival is the central summer event of the district town, transforming the city centre into a large stage for three days annually. In 2026, the festival will take place from August 7th to 9th. Friday and Saturday feature a classic city festival programme: three stages with regional bands and local heroes, culinary offerings, and a diverse entertainment programme. On Sunday, August 9th, the Day of Associations will take place for the second time, where Diepholz associations will present themselves to the citizens. The event is organised by the City of Diepholz in collaboration with local businesses and associations.

City Festival in the Heart of the District Town

The Diepholz City Festival is the most important summer event of the district town, turning the city centre into a festival mile for three days. The city administration organises the festival together with local businesses, restaurateurs, and associations, ensuring that all key players in the city centre are involved. Thousands of visitors from Diepholz and the surrounding area come to the city festival.

Three Stages and Live Music

The programme on Friday and Saturday is spread across three stages in the city centre. Regional bands and local heroes perform here, shaping the musical profile of the festival. The spectrum ranges from rock and pop to cover bands and acoustic sets, ensuring there's something for every musical taste. Between the stages, snack stands, food trucks, and drink vendors offer culinary diversity.

Day of Associations on Sunday

A special feature of the Diepholz format is the Day of Associations on Sunday. In 2026, it will be celebrated for the second time. Sports clubs, cultural associations, aid organisations, shooting clubs, and many others present themselves with stands in the city centre. Hands-on activities, demonstrations, and information booths create a day that makes association life visible and can attract new members.
