From June 25 to 28, 2026, the HafenKulturFest invites you to its big anniversary edition at the Karlsruhe Rhine port. For four days, port flair meets live music, culinary delights, a family program and special insights into the world of the port.
The festival kicks off on Thursday with a big warm-up including DJ Michael Spleth right on the waterfront. At the weekend, numerous bands and artists will provide musical variety - from rock, surf-rock-reggae and shanty music to jazz and French chansons.
Other highlights include the traditional Stadtwerke-Cup of the Rheinbrüder Karlsruhe, harbor tours with the MS Karlsruhe, spectacular rescue exercises on the water, historic train rides by the Ulmer Eisenbahnfreunde and views from the telescopic crane over the harbor area.
Families can also look forward to a varied program with hands-on activities, a carousel, bouncy castle, pirate camp and walking acts.
The HafenKulturFest combines culture, music and port life to create a special summer weekend right on the Rhine - open, lively and with a unique atmosphere.
