Three days of stage, music, and club life at the Altmarkt
Löbau, the 'Große Kreisstadt' (major district town) in the Görlitz district, has been a trading center of Upper Lusatia for centuries and home to the famous cast-iron observation tower (König-Friedrich-August-Turm). During the Löbauer Stadtfest, the historic city center is transformed into a continuous festival mile once a year — from the Altmarkt with the main stage, along Innere Bautzner Straße, to the side streets.
Regional artists alternate with national guests on the central stage at the Altmarkt. Choirs, dance groups, cover bands, and solo artists from all over Upper Lusatia share the program — deliberately broad to ensure every generation finds its favorite moment. In addition, walk acts move through the city center: stilt walkers, musicians, and animation teams provide surprises among the stalls.
2026 marks ten years since Löbau hosted the Saxon State Garden Show. This memory shapes the Stadtfest: many program items pick up on the garden show spirit — from flower-adorned stages to themed tours. The festival thus becomes an opportunity to experience the city center's transformation over the past decade.
Throughout the festival grounds, visitors will find food stalls with regional Upper Lusatian specialties, coffee, cake, and street food. Rides for children and adults complement the program. The city center is largely closed to car traffic during the festival — ideal for strolling between the stage, market, and food stalls.
The Stadtfest extends across the Altmarkt, Innere Bautzner Straße, and the side streets. Regional clubs, dance groups, and cover bands alternate on the main stage with national guest performances. Walk acts and animation teams move throughout the entire area.
The Löbau City Administration coordinates the program. Registrations for artists, clubs, and market stalls run until summer 2026 via the city website. The detailed stage program will be published a few weeks before the festival on loebau.de and in the local press.
The complete stage program will be published in the summer of 2026. The following components are confirmed:
Clubs and artists wishing to participate can register via the official Stadtfest registration page. The walk act routes are distributed across Altmarkt, Innere Bautzner Straße, and Markt.
Löbau is accessible via the A4 (Weißenberg exit) and the B6. Train connections via Görlitz and Bautzen. Parking spaces on the outskirts of the city with a walking path to the center; a special train from Rumburk (CZ) to Löbau is traditionally scheduled for the Stadtfest.
