A rotating lineup of bands and performers takes to the stage while the audience relaxes on picnic blankets among the trees or enjoys a glass of wine—creating a laid-back, open-air atmosphere usually reserved for big-city parks.
The Arboretum: Bad Langensalza's green gem
The Arboretum is one of the city's most significant historic gardens. With over 130 species of trees and expansive meadows, it provides an extraordinary setting for concerts. Right next door is the 'Gottesacker,' an old cemetery park that also serves as a venue for the Sommerlaune events. Bad Langensalza is located in the heart of the Unstrut-Hainich district in the state of Thuringia.
'Sommerlaune Extra lang!': The illuminated finale
The traditional highlight of the series is the 'Sommerlaune Extra lang!' finale. In previous years, this event spread across multiple stages throughout the Gottesacker, the Arboretum, and the City Museum cloister, offering a mix of genres ranging from jazz and pop to acrobatics and juggling. As night fell, the park was beautifully illuminated, with a fire show providing a spectacular end to the evening.
