35. Stadtfest Grimma

Three Days of Old Town Festival in the Mulde Region

The Stadtfest Grimma celebrates its 35th edition in 2026 — an anniversary that makes the festival one of the oldest and most established events in Saxony's Mulde region. From September 25 to 27, 2026, the historic old town will transform into a festival mile with three thematic areas: the club mile showcasing local clubs, the craft mile in Lorenzstraße, and the main stage with its stage program.

Club Mile — The Heartpiece

The club mile is the characteristic core of the Grimma Stadtfest. Here, local clubs present themselves: sports, culture, social, heritage, fire brigade, carnival, nature conservation. Each club has a stand and designs it according to their own ideas — with games, interactive activities, club information, and catering. The highlights of the club program will be presented on Sunday, September 27, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, in the club gala on the main stage: on a single stage, the clubs will showcase themselves with performances — dance, sports, music, theater, show acts. A charming presentation of the civic engagement of a town.

Craft Mile in Lorenzstraße

The craft mile in the historic Lorenzstraße brings regional craftspeople and direct marketers to the old town: blacksmiths, potters, carpenters, glassblowers, basket weavers, beekeepers, bakers, butchers, brewers, winemakers from the region. The stands are often costumed (historical craft attire), and the demonstrations are often practical — visitors can watch the blacksmith, try the potter's wheel, taste bread from the clay oven.

Main Stage and Stage Program

The main stage in the central square of the old town offers the musical and artistic program: cover bands, dance groups, Schlager artists, regional acts, and the club gala on Sunday afternoon. Exact performance times and artist lists will be published by the Grimma Business Association shortly before the festival weekend on grimma.de.

Grimma — Town on the Mulde with a Historic Old Town

The town of Grimma, with around 27,000 inhabitants, is located in the Leipzig district directly on the Mulde river. The old town is considered one of the most beautiful in Saxony, with its medieval structure, the Frauenkirche church, and the historic Pöppelmann Bridge. Those who left the town after the floods of 2002 and 2013 should rediscover it today — the town has extensively restored its historic old town and is now one of the most beautiful medium-sized towns in Eastern Saxony.
