Events

Dresden has been a metropolis of art and culture not just for the past few years but for centuries. The groundwork for this was laid by personalities such as the Saxon ruler and patron of the arts, Augustus the Strong. Culture in Dresden is not merely the cultivation of traditions but rather a vivid symbiosis of Old and New. This is a place to enjoy art and experience unforgettable moments.

»Old Masters« should always be honoured and new ones supported. This includes all kinds of events, from the urban district festivals – of which no two are the same – to the Days of Dresden Industrial Culture with the Steam Locomotive Festival, the famous Dixieland Festival, the summer film nights by the riverside, the Dresden City Festival, the Ostrale art festival and even major party events and rock and pop concerts.

Dresden has an extremely rich cultural life with the most varied events. Visitors can choose from events of any nature and of more than just regional importance all year round. Crown your stay in Dresden with an exceptional experience. This is where you can find out about all the highlights: open-air festivals, exhibitions, concerts and all the other occasions you should not miss.
