About KOMMZ

The KOMMZ – Nilkheimer Parkfest is one of Bavaria's most traditional non-commercial music and culture festivals. In 2026, it will celebrate its 50th anniversary in Nilkheimer Park in Aschaffenburg. Since 1975, the festival has been organized entirely by volunteers from the Freundeskreis für Kultur e.V. – no company, no agency, no profit-oriented organizing team. For a whole weekend, KOMMZ offers live music, activities, workshops, and a children's program in a relaxed park atmosphere. For the anniversary, a festival chronicle and an exhibition by the city of Aschaffenburg will be released, which will also award the KOMMZ group the Culture Prize.

50 Years of Non-Commercial Festival Culture

In 2026, KOMMZ looks back on five decades of festival history – founded in 1975, it will be celebrated for the 50th time in 2026. It is a non-profit organized weekend, supported by the Freundeskreis für Kultur e.V. The organizers emphasize their self-understanding: "We are not a company, not an agency, and not a profit-oriented organizing team." The entire festival is run by volunteers.

In Nilkheimer Park

The venue is the Nilkheimer Park in the Nilkheim district of Aschaffenburg – a green, spacious setting that gives the festival its relaxed, family-friendly character. Instead of a large commercial event, visitors can expect a weekend with music, activities, workshops, and a children's program in a special atmosphere.

Anniversary with Chronicle, Exhibition, and Culture Prize

The 50th KOMMZ will be celebrated in a special way: a chronicle of the festival's history will be published, the city of Aschaffenburg is dedicating an exhibition ("Kosmos Kommz" in the City Archive) to KOMMZ, and will award the Culture Prize 2026 to the KOMMZ group. With this, the city honors decades of voluntary commitment.

Music, Workshops, and Children's Program

The program includes new acts and familiar corners, workshops, activities, and a children's program – a weekend that consciously aims to be more than just a concert: a participatory cultural festival. Camping is possible, and the park becomes a temporary festival village.

Aschaffenburg on the Bavarian Lower Main

Aschaffenburg is located on the Bavarian Lower Main, on the border with Hesse, and is considered the "Bavarian Nice" with its Johannisburg Castle and parks. KOMMZ is a firm cultural fixture in the city and attracts an audience from the entire Rhine-Main region and Lower Franconia.
