Old Town Festival 2026: half-timbered backdrop becomes a festival mile
Around the market square, the town hall and the half-timbered lanes, Helmstedt's old town once again turns into a grand stage for music and encounter.
The Helmstedt Old Town Festival is one of the most popular events of the year. In 2026, stages, stalls and food line the historic market square in front of the town hall and wind through the picturesque half-timbered lanes of the old town. Live music, regional specialities and a programme for the whole family draw visitors from across the region. The city recommends discovering nearby sights such as the Juleum and St Stephen's Church during a stroll. Admission is free.
