Come along and celebrate with us on 07. and 08.08.2026! The Festival of Lights in the Münchhausen town of Bodenwerder has been delighting visitors from near and far since 1952. Culinary delights, live bands on three stages and an exciting kids’ area await you along the Weser promenade. The highlight of the evening is the impressive multimedia show of fireworks, lasers and light. Afterwards you can dance and party to DJ sounds.

Welcome to the fairytale and legend weekend on 22 and 23 August 2026 around the castle ruins of Polle: exciting stories and impressive performances in a picturesque setting.

The fairytale and legendary figures from the region ensure an unforgettable experience. Be enchanted and inspired by the Münchhausen and Cinderella plays and other cultural highlights.

On both days, you can enjoy food and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere.

Lush sound pervades Hamelin’s old town, the pavement will shake … 6 stages, 80 bands, 2 DJ areas, over 100,000 visitors and more than 113 hours of live music! All the bands have just one mission: to put the Pied Piper town in a state of emergency for 3 days (from 28 to 30.08.2026)! From rock to soul, from pop to punk, this city festival leaves nothing out.

Bands who know their craft and love their audience, plus plenty of stalls, cold beer and of course lots of activities for the whole family! At the city festival, the 6 stages are not assigned to a fixed direction, but rather you should move around the festival over the 3 days and enjoy music at various stations. The two DJ areas “Summer Beats Stage” and the “Pflasterfest Tower” round off the extensive live program!

Fancy an unforgettable evening with good music and delicious food? Then come to Baron on Fire – the open-air party on Saturday, 05.09.2026, from 17:00 in Bodenwerder Town Hall Park!
