The famous Karl May Festival in the summer, the humorous four-course dinner show in the winter, or all the fantastic events, concerts, and activities throughout the year—enjoy a wonderful time with all five of your senses at Europe’s largest park dedicated exclusively to shows and festivals. No rides, no carousels, no roller coasters—just attractions featuring people, animals, and nature—you’ll experience it all here “Naturally Live.” The Elspe Festival has delighted 15 million visitors over the past 60 years, and we look forward to welcoming you as well.
Family, Nature, and All Five Senses
The Elspe Festival is a dedicated show and festival park. Our concept is designed to appeal to all five human senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. We cater to people of all ages and family types—young and old, men and women, families, couples, and even solo travelers. Here, people, animals, and nature take center stage. Our visitors spend almost all their time in the fresh air and under the open sky. Our covered viewing areas ensure that no one gets wet when it rains. In addition to the two main seasons—summer and winter—the Elspe Festival hosts regular events, such as concerts, throughout the year.
