Culture under the open sky in Günzburg
The Günzburg Summer of Culture is one of the most important cultural series in Bavarian Swabia. From July to August, the historic old town of Günzburg in the district of Günzburg, Bavaria, transforms into a large open-air stage. The organiser is the city of Günzburg.
Tradition and Format
With around 22 editions, the Summer of Culture is one of the established cultural events in the region. Instead of a single large stage, the series uses the city itself as a backdrop: the bustling market square, historic squares and hidden courtyards. This creates many small, atmospheric concerts and performances over the weeks.
Programme
The programme is deliberately diverse:
- Brass music and traditional sounds
- Newcomer rock and young bands
- Reggae and world music
- Classical concerts and theatre performances
- Open-air theatre and picnic concerts
Most events are accessible free of charge, unless otherwise stated.
Atmosphere
The appeal of the Summer of Culture lies in the combination of high-quality culture and a relaxed summer atmosphere in the middle of the historic old town. Some innovations are planned for 2026: hitherto little-used locations are to be illuminated in a new light and become stages for special cultural experiences.
