Event Details
Welcome to the Golden Leaves Festival 2027 in Darmstadt
Since 2012 the Golden Leaves Festival has been Darmstadt’s most charming boutique festival for indie, alternative, dream-pop and electronic sounds. At the idyllic Steinbrücker Teich near Oberwaldhaus the natural setting turns into an intimate festival oasis with limited capacity for two days at the end of August. In 2027 it takes place on 28 and 29 August and once again focuses on carefully curated acts rather than mass programming.
