About Sommernachtsfest Pommern
The Sommernachtsfest in Pommern is organized by the Winzerkapelle Pommern – the traditional harmony of winemakers and music lovers from the Moselle village. On a late spring/early summer weekend, the village center transforms into a festive stage dominated by live music, regional wines, hearty catering, and exuberant atmosphere.
In 2026, the festival will take place on the weekend of May 23-24. The mild weather at the end of May makes the festival one of the first true summer experiences of the season – a "Sommernachtsfest" in both the literal and atmospheric sense.

The Winzerkapelle Pommern
Winzerkapellen are a special feature of the Moselle region: ensembles that originally emerged from the ranks of winemakers and remain closely connected to wine culture to this day. The Winzerkapelle Pommern cultivates this tradition with great dedication and performs not only at its own festivals but also at wine festivals, concerts, and supra-regional events.
Sommernachtsfest — Concept and Atmosphere
The Sommernachtsfest is the highlight of the association's year. For two days, music, wine, and conviviality are put center stage. The ensemble opens the festival with its own performances, and guest ensembles and music clubs from the region complement the program. Moselle wine from local winemakers is the focus of the catering, supplemented by beer, non-alcoholic drinks, and regional dishes.
Pommern on the Moselle
Pommern is located between Treis-Karden and Cochem on the Moselle and belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde Cochem in the Cochem-Zell district. The village is known for its vineyards, its historic buildings, and the nearby hiking and cycling trails along the Moselle. Tourists, hikers, and cyclists will find an authentic Moselle atmosphere here, far from the major tourist crowds.
Connection with Moselle Tourism
A visit to the festival can be combined with winery tours, hikes on the Moselle Höhenwege (highland trails), or a boat trip. Overnight stays in the village's guesthouses and holiday apartments allow for a relaxed weekend stay. Those who appreciate wine and the atmosphere plan their weekend around the Sommernachtsfest.
