Sommer im Park Neustadt bei Coburg

Sommer im Park — the new face of »Swing im Park«

Anyone who knows Neustadt bei Coburg in the Upper Franconian district of Coburg also knows the annual summer festival at the Villeneuve-sur-Lot Leisure Park. The »Swing im Park«, developed over many years, has become the fresher concept »Sommer im Park« in 2025: three days of programming from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, packed with comedy, regional live bands, a dance show, culinary highlights from the French partner city — and a classic family day to conclude.

What makes the festival special

• Variety instead of a single stage: Comedy night, live music, Moulin Rouge dance show, and children's program alternate.
• French Flair: Wines and specialties from Villeneuve-sur-Lot are served on-site — a tribute to the town twinning that gave the park its name.
• Festival for all generations: Sunday is explicitly aimed at families with free admission, featuring bungee jumping, obstacle courses, and craft activities.
• In the heart of the Frankenwald: The leisure park is centrally located and easily accessible by train and car — a relaxed setting for an urban yet natural town festival.

State and Cultural Context

Neustadt bei Coburg is located in northern Bavaria, directly on the border with Thuringia, and belongs to the district of Coburg. The town maintains a particularly close partnership with Villeneuve-sur-Lot in southern France, which is reflected not only in the name of the leisure park: The »Sommer im Park« program also picks up on the German-French exchange every year.
