Fête de la Musique Nauen

Start of Summer with Live Music Throughout the City

Since its invention in Paris in 1982, the Fête de la Musique has become a global phenomenon – and it has also found a firm home in Nauen, the largest town in the Havelland district of Brandenburg. On June 21, 2026, the town will open its squares, courtyards, and restaurants to mark the astronomical start of summer with a decentralized music festival where the stage can be anywhere.

Three Venues in the City Center

Three central locations form the core of the event:

• Martin-Luther-Platz – the historic square in the city center serves as the main stage with professional sound and lighting technology
• Berliner Hof on Goethestraße – open-air stage in a traditional inn atmosphere
• Semnonenbund on Ludwig-Jahn-Straße – courtyard concerts at the club house

Rock, pop, folk, and acoustic formats alternate on the stages. Choirs and school bands are given a platform, as are established regional acts. The concept thrives on musical diversity and the idea of music conquering the entire city.

Participate, Don't Just Watch

The character of the Fête de la Musique is participatory: the city of Nauen and the organizer TOBO actively seek local musicians who want to play for free – all styles are welcome, from singer-songwriters to brass bands. You can apply for a slot early in the spring and present your music in Nauen's old town.

Long Summer Night

The concerts start in the afternoon and continue long after midnight. Restaurants, cafés, and snack bars around the venues keep their outdoor seating open, making the music festival a city festival and a culinary tour of Nauen at the same time. Admission is free at all locations.
