Culture above the rooftops of Miltenberg

The Kultursommer auf der Mildenburg is the special open-air culture festival of the Lower Franconian town of Miltenberg in the Miltenberg district, Bavaria. The venue is the courtyard of the Mildenburg, which towers high above the historic old town and lends the festival a unique atmosphere.

Diverse Program

For just under two weeks, the Kultursommer offers a deliberately diverse program: classical and modern concerts, poetry slams, comedy ("Mildenburg lacht"), summer night songs, open-air cinema for families and adults, as well as the popular Crime & Wine format – a crime reading with wine tasting. Reading nights for children are also part of the offerings.

Cooperation of Cultural Institutions

The organizer is STADTKULTUR Miltenberg in cooperation with the Miltenberg Public Library, the Miltenberg Museums, and – for the first time from 2026 – the Schloss-Theater Miltenberg. This bundling of local cultural institutions ensures a varied program of music, literature, and stage arts.

A Festival for the Region

With its open-air character and the historic castle backdrop, the Kultursommer has become a regular summer event for Miltenberg and the entire lower Main Valley since its premiere in 2021. In case of rain, individual events are relocated to the Old Town Hall.
