Summer in the city
Off to summer, ready, go! – is the motto of the annual city summer in Dessau-Roßlau. The marketplace becomes an event center, Zerbster Straße a promenade and the city park a leisure oasis. And even beyond the city center, the summer offers a wide range of activities: from theater enjoyment at Roßlau Castle, to student life on the university campus, to garden magic at the Georgium.
To make sure you don’t miss anything, here’s an overview.
Open Stage
On Dessau’s market square, in the midst of the local gastronomy, you spend your time in the atmospheric Garden Dreams Lounge.
The warm summer nights can be enjoyed here with a cool drink and the artists on stage.
At least once a week, local and regional artists perform and present the colorful sound of the city.
Dates take place from 06/06/2024 – 19/09/2024

Summer parties & Party nights
The best thing about summer are by far the warm temperatures, the long days and the warm summer nights.
A little music and a cool drink and the world could not be better.
Everywhere in the city there are great events that have exactly this mix to offer. Whether directly at the Elblocation, in the cool student commune and in the hottest club in the city. The summer is there to enjoy.
