HafenKulturFest Karlsruhe 2025

The HafenKulturFest 2025 took place as usual on the last weekend of June at the Karlsruhe Rhine Harbour. The floating harbour stage with live bands, the Shanty choirs on the land stage, the free tours on the MS Karlsruhe, and the children's programme attracted several tens of thousands of visitors to the harbour area between Knielingen and Daxlanden.

Since 2001, the festival has been a regular fixture in Karlsruhe's summer calendar and is one of the few events that opens the normally restricted harbour world to the public. The combination of industrial architecture, water, live music, and maritime special events creates its unique appeal.
