Sossenheim Open Air (SoOPA)

Three Nights, Three Styles

The Sossenheim Open Air – SoOPA for short – is one of the largest open-air festivals in western Frankfurt. It takes place annually in the Open-Air-Arena at Sossenheim Kerbeplatz and is divided into three themed festival nights, each with its own headliner series. In 2026, the festival runs from August 20th to 22nd. The organizer is the volunteer association Arbeitskreis Sossenheim Open Air e.V. – the festival is organized entirely by volunteers.

Thursday 20.8. – Mallorcastyle

The first festival day is themed 'Mallorcastyle' – Ballermann hits, Schlager-Mallorca versions, and Bierkönig classics. Headliners:

• Calvin Kleinen – Reality TV star and Mallorca act
• Nina Reh

Soopa Sozial – Volunteering and Social Engagement

A special feature of SoOPA: It is a festival organized entirely by volunteers. Through the affiliated program 'Soopa Sozial', festival proceeds go to regional social projects – a model that distinguishes SoOPA from purely commercial Mallorca events and strengthens the connection between Sossenheim as a district and the festival.

Sossenheim, West Frankfurt

Sossenheim is a district in western Frankfurt with around 16,000 inhabitants, which has retained its village character alongside the big-city atmosphere. The Kerbeplatz is also the venue for the traditional Sossenheim Kerb (early October) – in August, it transforms into a festival arena.
