Festivals by Bundesland
The complete festival directory in Germany
Germany is one of the countries with the largest number of festivals in the world. Every year, thousands of cultural events set the rhythm across the entire country, from major international stages to the most authentic village celebrations. Music, film, theatre, dance, literature, gastronomy, street arts and circus festivals… whatever your passion, there is a festival made for you, in every season and in every Bundesland.
Our festival directory was designed to help you find a festival easily, wherever you are in Germany. Whether you are looking for an open-air rock festival, a intimate jazz festival in the heart of a village, a electronic music festival on the coast or a family-friendly festival in the mountains, here you will find all the information you need: dates, venue, prices, programme and festival-goer reviews.
Complete festival directory
Browse by Bundesland or district to discover festivals near you. Each listing includes practical details and reviews from the community.
Each festival listing is enriched over time by our team and by community feedback. The ratings and reviews left by visitors help you form an opinion before booking your tickets or hitting the road. You can also add your favourite festivals in a single click to easily find them from your personal list and never miss a date.
Our festival list covers all of Germany: from Bavaria to Schleswig-Holstein, from North Rhine-Westphalia to Saxony, through Berlin, Hamburg, Hessen and Baden-Württemberg. Each Bundesland has its own cultural gems, from internationally renowned events to lesser-known local festivals just waiting to be discovered.
Your festival travel companion
We update our database daily to ensure reliable information about every listed event.
Find a festival near you
The interactive festival map allows you to spot events near your location at a glance. You can also filter festivals by Bundesland, district and type (music, theatre, film, gastronomy...) or by time of year. Summer festivals remain the most numerous, but the festival season now extends throughout the year: winter festivals at ski resorts, spring gatherings in parks and gardens, autumn events centred on wine, literature or cinema. Whatever the month, there is always a festival to discover.
All festival genres in one place
Our festival directory is not limited to music. We list performing arts festivals (street theatre, contemporary circus, dance, puppetry), film festivals (short films, documentaries, animation), food festivals (wine, regional produce, world cuisine), literary festivals, comic book festivals, digital and tech festivals, and many more. Each listing details the type of festival, the exact dates, prices, access conditions and, when available, information about the programme and ticket sales.
More than a directory, a community of festival-goers
Our goal goes far beyond a simple list of festivals in Germany. We are building a true space dedicated to festival enthusiasts, with news, practical guides and first-hand experiences. Because experiencing a festival is much more than attending a show: it is discovering a place, sharing a moment, meeting people and creating unforgettable memories. Thanks to the festival-goer reviews published on each listing, you know exactly what to expect before making the trip. If you know a festival that is not yet listed, do not hesitate to let us know — our festival guide is enriched every day thanks to the community.
