Holiday flair in Wolfsburg's pedestrian zone with sandboxes, deckchairs, palm trees, and play modules — concluding with a weekend of stage performances by the music school
2026
About Summer in the City
Summer in the City brings holiday feelings to Wolfsburg's pedestrian zone from June 19 to 27, 2026. Wolfsburg Marketing GmbH (WMG) will install sandboxes, deckchairs, palm trees, and play modules in the city center, transforming Porschestraße into a summery urban garden for relaxation.
To conclude, on June 26 and 27, 2026, the Wolfsburg Music School will take over the stage with the format Musikschule & Friends: concerts, performances by ensembles and soloists, and interactive activities for families.
Summer in the City — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of Summer in the City runs from June 19 to 27 in Wolfsburg's pedestrian zone. Sandboxes, deckchairs, palm trees, and play modules will create an urban summer living room. To conclude, on June 26 and 27, the Wolfsburg Music School will perform in the 'Musikschule & Friends' format.
The exact daily program for 2026 will be published by WMG in early summer. The structure will follow the proven key points of previous years: permanent seating furniture on Porschestraße, small interactive activities, and a stage finale on the last weekend.
Concept
The format is low-threshold: furniture, sand, and palm trees will be set up in the pedestrian zone for about nine days and will be freely available. Passersby can linger, families can play, and the city visibly comes alive in the summer.
Finale
The finale on June 26 and 27 belongs to the Wolfsburg Music School, which bundles performances by its ensembles and cooperating artists under the title 'Musikschule & Friends'.
