Speyer Old Town Festival

Get ready to raise your glasses and feast your way through history because the Speyer Old Town Festival is back to turn the charming alleys into a massive, two-day celebration! Bringing the historic heart of the city to life between Fischmarkt and Sonnenbrücke, this beloved annual bash serves up an unbeatable mix of live music, culinary delights, and the famous SammySplash duck race on the Speyerbach. Visitors can wander the cobblestone streets, grab a local brew or glass of Palatinate wine, and dance the night away to live bands across multiple stages. From the traditional keg tapping at the opening ceremony to a lively children’s program in the courtyard of the St. Magdalena monastery, it is a brilliant community block party that captures the vibrant spirit and heritage of this cathedral city.
