Sommer im Park Lohmar

Lohmar — the Bergisch Town in the Rhein-Sieg-Kreis

If you travel southeast of Cologne into the Rhein-Sieg-Kreis, you'll arrive in Lohmar — a medium-sized town with around 31,000 inhabitants. Lohmar is situated in the Bergisches Land region, on the edge of the Bergisches Land Nature Park, with the Agger River flowing through it. The town serves as a residential and administrative center with a village-like character — those who live in Lohmar appreciate its proximity to Cologne (approx. 25 km) while enjoying a rural atmosphere. The Lohmar Stadtpark is the central urban green space and hosts regular open-air events.

Sommer im Park — The Concept

The Sommer im Park festival is a typical small-scale open-air music weekend, common in medium-sized German towns. Unlike the major festival brands (Hurricane, Rock am Ring), Sommer im Park targets the local audience with an accessible program — featuring regional bands, cover bands, Schlager, or pop acts. The weekend format combines a relaxed park atmosphere with live music and summer gastronomy.

August 1 and 2, 2026 — The Date

Sommer im Park 2026 will take place on Saturday, August 1, and Sunday, August 2, 2026. This weekend timing in the first half of August is classic for Bergisch town festivals — mid-summer, often with warm weather, many Lohmar residents are home during the NRW summer holidays or spend days in their local area.

Program Details — Still Open

As of May 2026, the exact program details have not yet been released. Those who wish to attend Sommer im Park 2026 should consult the official Lohmar website (lohmar.de) or the local event platform (lohmar.info) in early July 2026. Typical program elements are expected:

• Live bands from the Bergisches Land and the Cologne region
• Cover bands with popular programs
• Local dance groups or performance acts
• DJ program in the evening
• Classic summer gastronomy: Bratwurst, fries, crêpes, street food
• Drink bars with beer, wine, non-alcoholic summer drinks
• Family and children's program during the day

Lohmar Stadtpark as the Venue

The venue is the Lohmar Stadtpark — a central urban green space with a stage area and sufficient space for the festival setup. The park offers the ideal atmosphere for a summer open-air event: trees for shade, lawns for picnics, paved paths for stalls and infrastructure.

Lohmar in Summer — The Event Calendar

Sommer im Park is not the only Lohmar summer event. Throughout the year, there are, among others:

• Wahlscheider Kirmes in Lohmar-Wahlscheid
• Kulturtage Lohmar (Lohmar Cultural Days) over several weekends
• Funken-Biwak Lohmar
• Numerous local festivals in Lohmar's districts

This dense festival landscape makes Lohmar a typical Bergisch medium-sized town with a vibrant club scene and community event culture.
