Small festival in the large garden

The Kleine Fest 2026 will take place from 2 to 16 July 2026 - on a total of 13 evenings (except Mondays). The festival will remain true to its popular mix of artistry, comedy, cabaret, juggling, magic and music. Up to 100 international artists will perform - spread across the picturesque backdrop of the Great Garden in Herrenhausen.

A special highlight will be the new family day on Tuesday, 7 July 2026, when the picnic area opens at 3 pm (instead of 5 pm). The programme starts at 4 pm and ends at 9 pm for families. This means that even the youngest visitors can immerse themselves in the magical world in a relaxed atmosphere.
