In Lübeck, culture is in bloom all year round and numerous highlights enliven the historic Old Town. Here you can find some of the highlights from Lübeck’s events calendar. Summer or winter, Lübeck awaits you with unforgettable moments. In summer, the sound of music wafts through the streets of this Hanseatic city, as the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival connects classical music artists from home and abroad in Lübeck. Every year, the banks of the River Trave become a social meeting point, when the Duckstein Festival rolls into town with crafts, music and culinary delights. Every two years, the glistening summer becomes a bit more golden: The HanseKulturFestival is the magical street festival staged by residents of Lübeck for the residents, but of course all are welcomed with open arms.
Our tip: Don’t miss the "Kulturfunke" initiative, which promotes the local art and culture scene throughout the entire city by presenting countless and often spontaneous art performances. It positions Lübeck as an incomparable city of culture. One thing is certain: Without art, life would be boring.
