See­nachts­fest – Lakesi­de Fes­ti­val of Constance

For more than 65 Years, it has been deligh­t­ing tou­rists and locals ali­ke – the „See­nachts­fest” (Lakesi­de Fes­ti­val) as a part of the sum­mer nights of Con­stance, which tra­di­tio­nal­ly takes place on the second wee­kend of August in the city by Lake Constance.

Lakesi­de Fes­ti­val for All Tastes

This sum­mer, the cult fes­ti­val is also expec­ting tens of thousands of visi­tors, who will be enchan­ted by jugg­lers, artists, gas­tro­no­my and han­di­c­rafts in front of the pic­tures­que set­ting of Lake Constance.

You can expect par­ty­ing, feas­ting and plea­su­res for all senses.

With six live sta­ges, SWR3 and various DJs, count­less food stalls, street per­for­mers and an exten­si­ve pro­gram­me for child­ren and fami­lies,  the Lakesi­de Fes­ti­val offers fasci­na­ti­on for eyes, ears, pala­te and soul.

Dis­co­ver the arti­san mar­ket along the bay of Con­stance or sim­ply relax in the almost Medi­ter­ra­ne­an atmo­s­phe­re of Germany’s sou­thern­most tip.

World Famous Fire­works at the Lakesi­de Festival

The high­light of the fes­ti­vi­ty is, as always, the musi­cal fire­works dis­play, one of the lar­gest in Euro­pe, which also this year will be desi­gned by two-time pyro­tech­nics world cham­pion Joa­chim Ber­ner and his team.

For 30 Minu­tes, colour­ful pyro­tech­nics mix with the stars and will cer­tain­ly live up to this year’s mot­to „Magic Moments.”

Of cour­se, the­re are many pla­ces from whe­re you can catch a glim­pse of this event – a tru­ly uni­que view will be offe­red to you from one of our rooms in the Gästehaus Centro, in the heart of the Old Town of Constance.

Pro­me­na­de, har­bour and urban park are just a three-minu­te walk away – so you are all to yourself and yet right in the midd­le of the event.

The onset of the uni­que specta­cle will begin on the 9th of August at 15 o’clock, with the musi­cal fire­works kicking off around 22:15.

By the way: in 1507, a first docu­men­ted fire­works dis­play took place in Constance.

Then, when more and more tou­rists found their way to Lake Con­stance in the midd­le of the 19th cen­tu­ry, the so-cal­led „Beleuch­tungs­aben­de” (Ligh­t­ing Evenings) were crea­ted in this tra­di­ti­on, from which the Lakesi­de Fes­ti­val was crea­ted after the 2nd World War.

Beco­me a part of this tra­di­ti­on and visit the „See­nachts­fest” of Con­stance – the Gästehaus Centro offers you the right accommodation.
