Morbacher Musiksommer

A Wandering Festival

The Morbacher Musiksommer is an extraordinary format: instead of taking place in one fixed location, the festival moves through the various districts of the municipality of Morbach over several weeks. The mobile KIRNER stage is set up alternately in the villages, so that each location mobilizes its own local audience while also attracting travelling festival-goers.

The Concept

The municipality of Morbach is very spread out with numerous districts. The Musiksommer uses this structure to bring cultural activities to a wider area: each participating district gets one or more concert evenings, during which local clubs, restaurateurs, and residents provide the atmosphere and accompanying program, while the artists are booked regionally.

Locations 2026

The 2026 program includes the following locations:

• June 26: Belginum (Wederath) – Belginum Cultural Centre, archaeological park
• July 3: Weiperath
• July 5: Heinzerath
• July 17: Gutenthal
• July 24–27: Morbach (fairground) – as part of the St. Anna Kirmes
• August 7: Hinzerath
• August 14: Hundheim
• August 21: Bischofsdhron

Integration with the St. Anna Kirmes

From July 24 to 27, the Musiksommer is part of the St. Anna Kirmes Morbach. During these days, the KIRNER stage will be set up on the Morbach fairground, enriching the largest Kirmes in the Hunsrück with additional musical highlights.

Free Admission

Admission to all concerts is free. Visitors only pay for food and drinks on site. This concept allows for low-threshold access and makes the Musiksommer a cornerstone of cultural work in the municipality.
