Cultural season 2025/2026 in Waldshut-Tiengen: A feast for all the senses!

Cultural life in Waldshut-Tiengen also promises a wealth of exciting experiences for young and old in the 2025/2026 season. The head of the cultural office, Kerstin Simon, together with her colleagues Michael Rudigier and Pascal Schröder, have put together a varied program that has something for every taste. Highlights of the coming season include the eagerly awaited appearance of Max Mutzke and the talented Marialy Pacheco, who will be performing on March 14th World Town Festival will be on stage.

The World Town Festival has now firmly established itself as a cultural night in Waldshut-Tiengen. In its 19th edition, it offers a colorful potpourri of six concerts at four different venues from March 8th to May 28th, 2025. Particularly noteworthy is the festival’s first “Top Act”: the 2017 ESC winner Salvador Sobral. Local bands such as the Freiburg group El Flecha Negra are also part of the program and will create a great atmosphere at the open-air concert in Breitenfeld. On International Women's Day, Italian singer FLO will present a tribute to female artists of world music. A huge event that arouses great anticipation!

Classical and jazz set the tone

There are some changes in the classical music scene. The traditional classical music subscription is no longer offered, but concertgoers can expect two large orchestral concerts in the town hall: the New Year's Concert and the performance by the symphony orchestra of the Trossingen University of Music. Preparations have also been made in this area: the new “Klassik-Pur-Pass” allows entry to all five concerts for an attractive 99 euros. Early ticket orders are strongly recommended to secure the best seats.

An exciting innovation is the introduction of the jazz series “Jazz over the Roofs” in the Schwarzenberg Halls, which is being realized in collaboration with the Friends of Schloss Tiengen. Here visitors can enjoy top-class jazz concerts in a relaxed atmosphere.

Numerous activities are planned for this cultural season. A sculpture symposium with a sales exhibition will take place on September 21st and 22nd under the motto “50 years of Waldshut-Tiengen”. There will also be a museum night in October, which will also celebrate the city's milestone birthday with an exhibition and a colorful evening. Another highlight will be the “Tiengen reads” event series, which offers four evenings of drama, literature and poetry.

There are also exhibitions, a guitar festival, cabaret, cabaret and a children's program that round off the offering. The complete overview of the program will be published in a cultural brochure, which will be available in due course.
