Event Details
Welcome to the Konstanz Lake Night Festival 2027
On Saturday, 14 August 2027, the nearly four kilometer lakeside promenade in Konstanz once again transforms into a summer open air stage. The Seenachtsfest has been one of Lake Constance's most traditional events for over 75 years, drawing tens of thousands of visitors together with the neighbouring Swiss town of Kreuzlingen; the highlight of the evening is one of Europe's largest music synchronized fireworks displays over the water.
Highlights
- Traditional cross border fireworks over Lake Constance, staged jointly with Kreuzlingen
- Stage program with live music, DJs and performers along the promenade
- Seenachtsfest market with regional food and drink
- Family program and activities for children
- Lakeside lounge area with deck chairs and hammocks
- Parties on several stages continuing into the early morning hours
Program
The festival grounds around Stadtgarten, Konzilvorplatz, Hafenstraße and Klein Venedig traditionally open at 3:00 PM. Throughout the afternoon, live bands and performers entertain visitors on land and on the water, before DJs and further music acts take over in the evening. The emotional highlight is the grand music synchronized fireworks display, usually launched around 10:15 PM from several points over the water and on land together with Kreuzlingen. Afterward, parties continue on several stages late into the night. The detailed 2027 program is expected to be published by the organizers in spring.
