Festivals & events

Pure experience - words that perfectly describe the festivals, celebrations and events in Bad Nauheim.

The major festivals and celebrations transform the spa town into a unique venue every time. The European Elvis Festival, for example, turns it into the stage of the King of Rock 'n' Roll, while the Art Nouveau festival revives the Belle Époque era. The biennial Rose Festival puts the spotlight on the small suburb of Steinfurth, Germany's oldest rose village, and enchants visitors with the queen of flowers.

 

Besides the numerous different event highlights that take place in Bad Nauheim every year, it is also the unique atmosphere in the town's various venues that turns these offers into an experience.

Festivals & cultural events

We celebrate Elvis, roses, art nouveau and much more.

These words, carved as a dedication into the fountain created by Heinrich Jobst in 1911, can still be read – in German – today. The citizens of Bad Nauheim have always regarded the gushing element as a "gift of grace from God". In gratitude, the town has celebrated the spring water thanksgiving celebration with illuminations, music and speeches for over 150 years, commemorating the re-emergence of the healing spring in 1855.

The fair has its own unique charm with a mix of colourful entertainment and traditional events right in the heart of the town. On Sunday, the shops in the town centre also open for business. Because many parish fairs have long since moved from town and village centres to large squares on the outskirts, Bad Nauheim's street fair remains highly popular far beyond its borders.
