Village festival for the summer solstice in Huy-Neinstedt — with homemade soups
The name itself reveals the tone: SommerSonnenwendeSuppensause. A deliberately friendly and winking composition of solstice festival and "soup feast" — a culinarily accented summer festival celebrated on the longest day of the year in the district of Huy-Neinstedt. The municipality of Huy, together with the local heritage association, is the organizer.
The focus is on homemade soups from the village — from classic pea soup to cream of tomato soup, goulash, and vegetarian and vegan options. Everyone brings something, everyone tries. Served with bread, drinks, and in the evening, a campfire for the solstice and live music from the region. A format that is neither a marquee folk festival nor a classic city festival — more like village conviviality with atmosphere.
Huy-Neinstedt is located in the Harz district in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, on the southwestern edge of the Huy forest — a wooded ridge between Halberstadt and Wernigerode. The village has belonged to the larger municipality of Huy since 2010. Within reach: Wernigerode Castle, the medieval old town of Halberstadt, the Huysburg Monastery.
The 2026 summer solstice festival follows the established concept of the Huy-Neinstedt district: two evenings on the village green, starting at 6 PM. The focus is on the soup table with homemade variations from the village, served with bread, drinks, and musical accompaniment. Later in the evening, the campfire will be lit — the actual solstice accent.
