33rd City Festival Cottbus 2026: Three Days of Festival Magic in the City Center

33rd City Festival Cottbus: Three Days of City Center Filled with Music, Enjoyment and Family Moments

From June 19 to 21, 2026, the city center of Cottbus will once again transform into a large, vibrant multi-day experience. The 33rd City Festival Cottbus brings stages, rides, culinary offerings and a strong sense of community right into the city – free of charge and open to all who want to enjoy festival atmosphere without ticket stress. Organized and planned by COEX Veranstaltungs GmbH & Co. KG, the festival focuses on tradition, diversity, and a wide program for all generations.

City Center as Festival Grounds

The city festival spreads across Altmarkt, Stadthallenvorplatz, Spremberger Straße, Platz am Stadtbrunnen, Park an der Puschkinpromenade, Postplatz, and Oberkirche. This mixture is what makes it appealing: short distances, changing impressions, open spaces, and a festival organization that transforms the center into a large open-air stage. Traditional rides such as the Ferris wheel, Break Dance, Aqua King, giant slide, and bumper cars will enhance the experience. Over 80 vendors and restaurateurs will ensure a strong food mile in the city center. ([cottbus.de](https://cottbus.de/kultur-und-tourismus/stadtfest-2026/))

Line-up with Electronic Energy and City Festival Character

At six free music stages, live music, DJ sets, show formats, and family offerings will come together. The line-up features Marie Reim, Venga Venga, Stamping Feet, FritzParty, Spree x Neiße Stage, as well as acts like Talla 2XLC, MOGUAI, Thomas Schumacher, K-Paul, DJ F. Meinecke, HouseKaspeR, Dr. Motte, and other regional artists. The result is a festival mix of pop, club sound, show, and city festival tradition.

Between rides, stages, and club performances, a dense city festival experience emerges with a lot of movement and even more impressions. The program includes concerts, dance, family cinema, a Sorbian festival, a multicultural festival, and the German-Polish citizens' festival. On Sunday evening, the laser show at Altmarkt and in the park at Puschkinpromenade will form a strong conclusion. ([cottbus.de](https://cottbus.de/kultur-und-tourismus/stadtfest-2026/))
