Stadtfest Rehau

About Stadtfest Rehau

For over 30 years, the Rehau City Festival has been the central meeting point for the citizens of the Upper Franconian industrial city of Rehau in the Hof district. Every two years, the city center around Maxplatz and Wallgarten transforms into a two-day festival area under the motto "Rehau erleben" (Experience Rehau): Two stages with local and national acts, artisans, club presentations, a large children's play paradise, and culinary offerings from grilled specialties to Lángos. Highlight in 2026: the rock classic show "The Magic of Queen Classic" on Saturday evening.

Rehau City Festival — When the City Center Becomes a Stage

With the City Festival, Rehau puts on a program every two years that takes over the entire city center. An industrial city in the Hof district, located on the Selb-Rehauer Forst and just a few kilometers from the Czech Republic — a location that makes Rehau a crossroads and the City Festival more than just a local event.

Rehau in the Hof District — Industry, Forest, and Czech Border

Rehau is a city with around 10,000 inhabitants in the Hof district in the state of Bavaria. Known primarily as the headquarters of the globally active REHAU Industries SE and several other medium-sized industrial companies (LAMILUX, SÜDLEDER), the City Festival benefits from strong private sector sponsorship — without these major companies, a program of this magnitude would be difficult to realize.

Two Stages, One Weekend

The concept for the 2026 event focuses on two spatially separated stages with different profiles:

Main Stage at Maxplatz (Sponsor: REHAU) — daytime program, local performances (Musikverein Rehau, kindergartens, TV Rehau, Stadtkapelle Oelsnitz), top acts in the evening, and a late-night DJ set
Wallgarten Stage (Sponsor: SÜDLEDER) — bands like "Bogeymen", "L I N D A", and "dreiRaum" all day, beer garden atmosphere, possibly live broadcast of the Football World Cup

Families in Focus

The Children's Play Paradise at Maxplatz (Sponsor: LAMILUX) offers free admission from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The program includes: giant slide, curiosity express with technical stations, treasure hunt in the sandbox, and a football dart wall. This clearly positions the City Festival as a family-friendly event — unlike a traditional Volksfest.

Clubs, Business, and Crafts

Around 80 exhibitors, clubs, industrial companies, and catering stands jointly shape the festival area. Industry, crafts, trade, and club life present themselves side-by-side — exactly the concept of the motto "Rehau erleben".

Highlight 2026: "The Magic of Queen Classic"

The Saturday evening at Maxplatz will feature the rock classic show "The Magic of Queen Classic": a rock band combined with a classical string orchestra, bringing the Queen repertoire to life in a symphonic format. This will be followed by a late-night set with DJ George Cooper.
