Events

From 15 August 2026 to 19 January 2027, the Frieder Burda Museum in Baden-Baden will be presenting the exhibition ‘The Unfolding of Colour: Simon Hantaï’. Simon Hantaï (1922–2008) is one of the most important figures of international post-war modernism.

For the 15th time, ‘Novemberlicht’ – the Baden-Alsace Cultural Days – is taking place between the Ortenau and Lower Alsace. Together with the neighbouring municipalities of Bühlertal, Ottersweier and Rheinmünster, as well as our partner municipalities in Alsace, Drusenheim and Haguenau, we will once again be enjoying a veritable kaleidoscope of six very different cultural events from 7 to 24 November. Our regional dialect is showcased through humorous stories, drama and music – and we realise that dialect is by no means old-fashioned and can inspire people in many different ways.

When autumn bathes the forests of the Palatinate in warm colours and the days grow shorter, it’s time for something truly special: the Palatinate Game Weeks.
Throughout November and December 2026, restaurants across the Palatinate invite you to rediscover game from the region and celebrate its exceptional quality.

A celebration of music and togetherness: the Winter Festival invites you to take a moment to reflect. Create new memories with family and friends, be inspired by outstanding artists, and enjoy a festive time at the Festspielhaus.
