Summer Festival Mühldorf a. Inn

Festival in the Haberkasten — the unusual festival venue

The Haberkasten in Mühldorf am Inn is a former oat storage building from the 16th century, located right in the middle of the historic old town on the market square. Today, it serves as a venue for the town of Mühldorf. Its courtyard — framed by old storage buildings and burgher houses — is the festival stage for the Sommerfestival: an atmospheric place with a historic backdrop, manageable size, and a theater-like ambiance. Not a classic open-air event, but a festival in an urban courtyard.

Ten days, nine events — diverse curation

The Sommerfestival runs for ten days and comprises nine events, curated by the town of Mühldorf. The 2026 program, in its 27th edition, alternates between several genres:

• Pop and Singer-Songwriter: Michael Schulte (Eurovision Song Contest 2018, 'You Let Me Walk Alone'), LOI
• Family Program: Senta — Interactive concert for families with children
• Lower Bavarian Cabaret: Eva Karl Faltermeier (multi-award-winning cabaret artist from Lower Bavaria), Helmut Schleich (BR cabaret star)
• Political Cabaret: Toni & Max Uthoff (father and daughter — Toni Uthoff from 'Die Anstalt' and her daughter Max)
• Sicilian Singer-Songwriter: Pippo Pollina & Palermo Acoustic Quintet
• Young Comedian: Simon Stäblein
• Jazz: Swingstreet Bigband for the festival brunch on the closing Sunday (11 am)

Mühldorf am Inn — District town with history

Mühldorf am Inn (approx. 22,000 inhabitants) is the district town of the Mühldorf am Inn district in Lower Bavaria. The town is located on the Inn River, about 70 km east of Munich. The old town with its characteristic market square (over 300 meters long, lined with colorful burgher houses), town tower, castle, and monastery church is considered one of the most beautiful in Lower Bavaria. In the Middle Ages, Mühldorf was an important salt trading town — the wealth of the salt merchants is still clearly visible in the magnificent houses on the market square.

Who should go

Anyone looking for a curated, high-quality festival in an atmospheric setting — without the stress of a mega open-air event — will love the Sommerfestival Mühldorf. The format is family-friendly (with its own interactive concert), but also offers politically sophisticated cabaret with Toni Uthoff, as well as internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Pippo Pollina and pop star Michael Schulte. A mix that is only possible in a medium-sized town with a vibrant culture.
