Saarburg Riverside Concerts (Wednesday Concerts)

Weekly Open-Air Meeting Point

The Saarburg Riverside Concerts is one of the oldest concert series on the Mosel and Saar rivers. For years, the Boemundhof — a centrally located courtyard in the heart of Saarburg — has opened its doors every Wednesday evening from April to October for free open-air concerts. The organizer is the Verkehrs- und Verschönerungsverein (VVV) Saarburg (Traffic and Beautification Association), which has established the series as location marketing for the wine and tourism town.

2026 Season from April 3rd to October 31st

The concerts in 2026 start on Wednesday, April 3rd, and run every Wednesday until October 31st. The season calendar includes 30 dates — a rare frequency for a Mosel concert series. Start time is always 7:30 PM. The concept appeals to locals as well as day-trippers who want to stop in Saarburg in the evening.

Winemaker of the Month

A special feature is the 'Winzer des Monats': Each month, a different Saarburg winery serves its wines. The 2026 calendar order: April Weingut Appel, May Peter Burens, June Otto Minn (Ockfen), July Forstmeister Geltz-Zilliken, August Schloss Saarstein (Serrig), September Dr. Wagner, October Peter Greif (Feller). This allows regular guests to get to know a wide range of Saar wines over the season.

Concert Program July–August

The musical spectrum is deliberately broad. Selection for the summer months: July 1st Musikverein Beurig, July 8th Bauers Brass Band, July 15th Rambling Rovers, July 22nd Emotions, July 29th Soul Cantina, August 5th Fooling Around, August 12th Musikverein Saarburg. Brass, Rock, Soul, Folk — the series emphasizes diversity and provides performance opportunities for both local associations and regional bands.
