Summer, driving fun, and downtown flair: the city summer delight brings Braunschweig to life

A walk through fairground atmosphere
Between Domplatz, Platz der Deutschen Einheit, Langer Hof, Platz am Ritterbrunnen, Schlossplatz, and Kohlmarkt, an urban event experience is created with short distances and plenty of variety. The concept focuses on a relaxed distribution of attractions, creating a pleasant atmosphere that invites discovery, staying, and enjoying.
Attractions for young and old
Highlights include the Ferris wheel on Platz der Deutschen Einheit, the roller coaster on Schlossplatz, a Twister, as well as children's carousels, bungee trampolines, and more game stalls. Additionally, there are sweet and savory fairground classics such as crêpes, churros, bratwurst, langos, tacos, ice cream, and cool drinks. The result is a multifaceted experience of movement, taste, and summer atmosphere.
Easy to reach and open for spontaneous visits
The open-air event starts daily at 11:00 AM. According to available information, the city summer delight is free of charge. This makes it particularly suitable for a spontaneous visit to downtown, a family outing, or a relaxing afternoon of fun and culinary delights right in Braunschweig.
