Marktsommerkonzerte Holzminden

Summer evenings on the market square, framed by historic facades, cool drinks, and live sounds: The Marktsommerkonzerte Holzminden are a success story of city marketing. Spread over several weeks, the Thursdays and weekends of August transform into an open-air festival right in the city center.

Genre Diversity from Folk to Jazz

The Marktsommerkonzerte deliberately focus on musical breadth. Unplugged sets, folk, pop, rock, and jazz alternate on the concert evenings. This diversity ensures that different audience groups come together over the weeks — young families as well as seniors, dedicated concertgoers as well as passers-by who spontaneously join in.

Dates 2026

A total of five concert dates are planned for August 2026: August 1st, 8th, 15th, 29th, and 30th. The concerts start at 7:30 PM and last until approximately 10:00 PM. The exact band lineup will be communicated by the Holzminden City Marketing in advance.

Atmosphere in the City Center

The Holzminden market square, with its historic town hall and surrounding city center gastronomy, offers an ideal backdrop for open-air summer concerts. Restaurants and cafés around the square open their outdoor seating areas, making the concert an enjoyable summer evening experience. The free admission underscores the city marketing's commitment to making cultural offerings accessible to everyone.
