Summer-Jazz Festival im Bedagarten Bitburg

The Summer-Jazz Festival im Bedagarten is the summer open-air concert series for jazz lovers in Bitburg and the Eifel region. The venue is the garden of Haus Beda in the city center of Bitburg – a green oasis with a cultural ambiance, equipped with a stage, seating, and a bar for the jazz concerts.

Concept: Open-Air Jazz in the Bedagarten

The series serves as a summer accompanying program to the year-round jazz activities of the Jazz-Initiative Eifel (Jazzei). While Jazzei organizes concerts in indoor venues during the rest of the year, the Summer-Jazz Festival invites audiences outdoors during the summer weeks. The atmosphere of the Bedagarten, with its old trees, paths, and the architecture of Haus Beda, makes every evening a special experience.

2026 Program Season

The 2026 season will open on Wednesday, July 15, at 7:00 PM with LuxOnions, a Dixieland band from Luxembourg. Further concerts will follow throughout the summer weeks until August 20. The exact program sequence with all bands will be published by the organizer in the summer.

Organizer Trio

The event is jointly supported by three institutions:

• Jazz-Initiative Eifel (Jazzei): Program design and curation.
• Kulturverein Bitburg: On-site organization, volunteer team.
• Dr.-Hans-Simon-Stiftung: Significant financial supporter, enabling free admission.

Free Admission as a Cultural Gift

Free admission to all concerts is a deliberately chosen concept: Jazz should be made accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of their financial situation. This low threshold, combined with high musical quality, makes the Summer-Jazz Festival one of Bitburg's special summer events.
