Tips & Dates 2026

In spring and summer, the Hannover Region presents itself with a varied programme of events. Major events, festivals and concerts characterise cultural life in the city and the surrounding area. In addition to well-known festivals, open-air events, music formats and cultural programmes at various locations provide a wide selection during the warmer months.

A season of culture, leisure and regional events is created between the city centre, Maschsee lake, Herrenhausen Gardens and numerous event areas in the region. Many events have been a firm fixture in Hanover's calendar of events for years and attract visitors from Lower Saxony and beyond. The mixture of culture, nature, events and urban life also makes Hanover an interesting destination for a short trip or several days in the Hanover region in spring and summer.
