About Irish Summer Night Wolfenbüttel Castle

The Irish Summer Night at Wolfenbüttel Castle – "An Oíche Samhradh Gaeilge” – has been a magical highlight of the Wolfenbüttel cultural summer for years. On July 4, 2026, the historic courtyard of the baroque Wolfenbüttel Castle will be transformed into an open-air stage for top-class Irish music. The Keltics, one of the most renowned German bands for Irish and Celtic music, will ensure an unforgettable evening with their rousing mix of traditional tunes, folk classics, and their own songs. The concert regularly sells out completely – the unique combination of the historic castle backdrop, mild summer evening air, and powerful Celtic music makes it a must-attend event for all friends of Irish Folk in Lower Saxony.

Magical Atmosphere in the Castle Courtyard

Wolfenbüttel Castle, the former residence of the Dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg, is one of the most important baroque palace complexes in Northern Germany. Its courtyard, with its representative facades, offers an atmospheric backdrop that makes the open-air concert a very special experience. As the sun sets over the castle roofs and the last daylight bathes the courtyard in warm light, the Irish Summer Night begins.

The Keltics — Top Address for Irish Music

The Keltics have been one of the leading German bands for Irish and Celtic music for many years. With tin whistle, violin, accordion, guitar, bouzouki, bodhrán, and powerful voices, they deliver an energetic sound that keeps the tradition of Irish Folk alive while interpreting it in a modern way. Their concerts are known for their captivating stage presence, their mix of melancholic ballads and lively reels & jigs, and their direct connection with the audience.
