60 Years of Baunatal — From Factory Village to City

Baunatal was granted city rights on July 1st, 1966. Formed from several villages and a VW factory village, it became a new city in the south of the Kassel district – and in 60 years, it has developed into a modern, vibrant, economically strong city with around 28,000 inhabitants. The entire festival year 2026 is under the motto «Baunatal 60», with the Stadtfest at the beginning of July being the highlight.

Kick-off on July 1st — City Birthday

The festival year officially begins on Wednesday, July 1st, 2026, with concerts by the Heeresmusikkorps Kassel. It is a civic celebration on the exact birthday date.

Four Days of Stadtfest on the Marktplatz

From Thursday, July 2nd, to Sunday, July 5th, Baunatal's Marktplatz will be transformed into the festival grounds. Three stages – the main stage, the Klimperkasten-Bühne (powered by Raiffeisenbank), and the [34225]-Bühne (powered by Glinicke) – will cater to all generations.

Saturday Highlight: 60th Birthday Party

On Saturday evening, July 4th, the big anniversary party will take place with the North Hessian cult band Reiner Irrsinn – a show that the Baunatal audience knows: party charts, Schlager, and Neue Deutsche Welle. A city in birthday dancing mode.
