Huge festival in Salzgitter: fair, fireworks and long shopping night!

From August 15th to 17th, 2025, the city center of Lebenstedt will be transformed into a colorful festival mile for young and old. The Cityfest, which is organized by the CityLebenstedt advertising association, promises an unforgettable weekend full of fun, good mood and culinary experiences. The official opening on Friday, August 15th at 4:45 p.m. on the Wohnbau stage at Monumentenplatz will attract a lot of attention. A highlight is the fireworks display, which will create a festive atmosphere on Friday evening.

In total, around 60 rides, stands, snack bars and drinks stands await visitors. The festival area extends from the city passage to the town hall and along Chemnitzer Straße. The city center becomes a meeting point for everyone who is looking for variety. On Sunday, the shops invite you to a Sunday shopping event where you can shop from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. This is a great opportunity to meet up with friends and do a good deal or just enjoy the great atmosphere.

Diversity and entertainment

The Cityfest in Lebenstedt is one of the largest events of its kind between the Harz and the Heath and attracts visitors from near and far. The two stages offer a varied live program: In addition to the Wohnbau stage at the Monument, performances are planned on Chemnitzer Straße, at Café Carree and on the Jever-Klause stage. This ensures the best entertainment.

There are numerous rides and attractions available for the little ones, while the focus for adults is on their physical well-being at the countless stalls. The Cityfest is no longer just fun for children; Adults will also find fun here and can relax in a unique atmosphere.

Inclusivity and consideration

A special innovation this year is the introduction of a sports and club mile on Chemnitzer Straße, which offers local clubs and sports groups the opportunity to present themselves. The festival area in front of the town hall will also be a central focal point with various attractions. In addition, there are “quiet hours” on Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. to enable people with autism and people with sensory sensitivity to have a relaxed stay. During this time, the background noise is reduced and the lights are dimmed.

The opening hours of the stands are generous: Friday until 11 p.m. (possibly until 2 a.m.), on Saturday until midnight (if necessary, until 2 a.m.) and on Sunday until 8 p.m. This leaves enough time to enjoy the diverse offerings and celebrate summer properly.

Prepare for an adventure and visit the Cityfest in Lebenstedt! This festival is more than just a series of attractions; it is a way to experience community and enjoy carefree moments together.
