About Summer Fest Uni Trier
The Summer Festival of the University of Trier is an annual campus festival organized by the university itself and supported by numerous student groups. The venue is Campus I at Universitätsring 15 on the Petrisberg, one of Germany's most scenic university locations with a wide view over the city and the Moselle valley.
The festival is divided into a daytime part with information booths from departments, university groups, initiatives, and advisory services, culinary offerings from various cultural circles, and hands-on activities, as well as an evening and night part with live music on the stage at the Forum (usually starting at 7:30 PM) and the traditional aftershow party in the basement of the cafeteria.
The summer festival plays an important role in the social life of the University of Trier, a comprehensive university with about 12,000 students, known for its focus on law, economics, languages, social sciences, and computer science. University groups from all faculties use the day to present themselves and foster community.
The exact date in 2026 will be communicated by the University of Trier in the spring. The festival usually takes place in the last weeks of the summer semester, i.e., from the end of May to mid/end of June. Current information will be published in the university's event calendar at uni-trier.de and in student media (including 5vier.de).
