About Münden Old Town Festival

The Münden Old Town Festival is the central summer city festival in the historic town of Hann. Münden, situated at the confluence of three rivers. For three days, the famous old town of Münden, with its over 700 half-timbered houses from several centuries, transforms into a large festival mile. Three stages featuring cover bands, DJs, newcomers, and artists, amusement rides, a flea market on Burgstraße, and Sunday shopping characterize the weekend. The exact date for 2026 will be announced by the organizer in good time before summer – the previous year's edition in 2024, which took place from July 19th to 21st, serves as a reference. Free admission to all program points.

The Three-Rivers Town Celebrates

Hann. Münden is the famous three-rivers town at the confluence of the Werra and Fulda rivers forming the Weser. The historic old town with its over 700 half-timbered houses from several centuries – including numerous Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical buildings – is one of the most beautiful old town ensembles in Germany. The annual Old Town Festival showcases this extraordinary setting and makes it the stage for a lively, three-day city festival.

Three Stages with Variety

The festival is spread across three stages in the old town, each with its own profile. The main stage presents the larger live acts, primarily cover bands that entertain the audience with well-known songs. A smaller stage is reserved for newcomers and singer-songwriters. A third stage features DJ sets and artistic performances. This distribution creates program diversity and movement within the festival grounds.

Flea Market on Burgstraße

A special tradition is the flea market on Burgstraße. Private individuals and occasional vendors present bric-a-brac, antiques, books, clothing, and curiosities. The flea market attracts its own audience and complements the stage program with a quieter, more leisurely component.

Sunday Shopping

On Sunday, the shops in Münden's city center open for an afternoon of shopping. This links the festival with the interests of local retail and creates additional attractive reasons to visit the old town.

Amusement Rides and Culinary Mile

Classic folk festival elements such as carousels, small amusement rides, and food stalls complement the stage program. The culinary mile offers regional specialties – Münden bratwurst, Hessian specialties from the nearby border region, and international classics like pizza, pasta, and Asian food.
