Open-air festival with concerts and shows at Charlottensee — Late May / Early June 2026
The Gartenparty Bad Iburg is one of the highlights in the spa town's summer calendar. The venue is the scenically attractive Kneipp-Erlebnispark am Charlottensee, framed by the baroque Iburg Castle and the wooded slopes of the Teutoburg Forest.
The festival typically runs from Friday to Sunday. The mix of music concerts, comedy acts, and show programs is what makes it so special: Pop and indie one evening, satirical stage performances the next — the Gartenparty caters to a deliberately mixed audience.
In 2025, Christian Steiffen, Bilderbuch & Berq, and Vollplaybacktheater performed, among others — a mix that reflects the festival's curatorial style. The 2025 edition took place from May 30th to June 1st at Charlottensee.
With views of Charlottensee, the castle, and the treetop walkway, the Gartenparty offers an atmosphere that goes far beyond the usual festival setup. Lawn seating, food trucks with regional and international cuisine, and a well-stocked bar enhance the enjoyment factor.
The spa town of Bad Iburg has established itself as a festival destination: Iburger Sommer, Schützenfest, Glaner Markt, and Gartenparty represent a diverse summer program. Those looking for open-air culture in the south of the Osnabrücker Land region gather at Charlottensee.
The exact 2026 program will be published by the organizer in spring. The structure will follow the proven key points of previous years:
