Laurentiusfest Zwenkau

Laurentiusfest 2024 — Anniversary Highlight 1050 Years of Zwenkau

On the occasion of the celebrations for Zwenkau's 1050th anniversary (first documented mention in 974), the Laurentiusfest 2024 was expanded into a three-day "Anniversary Highlight in Summer." From August 9th to 11th, 2024, thousands of visitors gathered at Waldbad Zwenkau for a particularly extensive program.

Three stages with tribute bands to the Rolling Stones, Die Ärzte, and AC/DC, mini disco, quad racing, beach volleyball tournament, dragon boat races, skating contest, handball tournament, laser shooting, and performances by several choirs and dance groups — an exceptionally comprehensive program worthy of the occasion. The 2026 edition will return to a more compact two-day format.
