About Music in the Park

"Music in the Park" is the free open-air concert of the Putbus Festival and takes place annually on Whit Sunday in the Palace Park of Putbus on the island of Rügen. With free admission, the extensive landscape park transforms into a stage under the open sky: choirs, puppet theatre, sound installations, and historical films about Putbus invite you to "listen and stroll". Visitors bring camping chairs and picnic baskets – a relaxed, family-friendly festival concert that makes the Putbus Festival experience tangible throughout the town.

A Celebration in the Palace Park

"Music in the Park" is the public-facing open-air day of the Putbus Festival. While the festival usually takes place in the theatre, the palace church, and the orangery, on this day the Palace Park Putbus – the extensive landscape park of the neoclassical residence town in the south of the island of Rügen – opens up as a green festival stage.

Listen and Stroll

The concept for the day is "Listen and Stroll": Music is performed at various locations in the park, and the audience moves freely between the performance venues. The programme includes choirs, a children's choir, puppet theatre, and sound installations; the theatre also shows historical films about Putbus. Association members in historical costumes distribute programmes for donations, and culinary stands cater to the guests.

Family-Friendly and Free

Admission is free – donations are welcome. Visitors bring camping chairs and picnics and settle in for several hours in the park. This makes "Music in the Park" the most accessible format of the Putbus Festival: a cross-generational celebration that combines music, architecture, and nature.

Putbus and its Palace Park

The Putbus Palace Park is one of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's most important landscape parks. With its palace terraces, old trees, and the orangery, it forms the green heart of the white residence town in the Vorpommern-Rügen district. "Music in the Park" transforms this park into an open-air concert hall once a year.
