Land & Lions 2026: Braunschweig becomes the grand stage of Lower Saxony

From June 12 to June 14, 2026, the city center of Braunschweig will be transformed into a vast state festival filled with music, volunteering, culture, and encounters. Land & Lions, the Day of Lower Saxony 2026, brings seven stages, ten themed miles, and a packed program to the Lion City – a multi-day experience with a strong sense of community and a festive atmosphere right in the city.

A state festival with history, character, and heart

The Day of Lower Saxony has stood for lived community, diversity, and regional identity for decades. In 2026, Braunschweig takes on the role of host for the first time and showcases the city center as an open experience area for clubs, associations, initiatives, culture, and sports. Official bodies emphasize the importance of the festival as a stage for cohesion, volunteerism, and the diversity of the land.

Music, miles, and participatory moments

Visitors will experience a program that stretches across the city: concerts, shows, exhibitions, participatory activities, and numerous presentation areas provide variety at every corner. Among the announced highlights are performances by Juli and Jazzkantine, as well as the Parade of Diversity. Themed miles such as sports, tourism, youth culture, nature, and church also provide clear structure and lots of exploration excitement.

Festival atmosphere in the city center

Instead of a classic festival area, there will be an open urban festival with an open-air flair. The paths between the miles create the charm: from the stage program to the experience area, from the information booth to the participatory activity, from the concert moment to a spontaneous meeting point. This mixture of city stroll, show program, and state festival culture defines the special charm of Land & Lions.

Practical for your visit

Admission is free. The festival runs on Friday from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM, on Saturday from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and on Sunday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
