Summer in the City Mainz brings open-air music to the Mainz summer

When warm summer air sweeps over the city, Mainz transforms into a large concert stage: At Summer in the City, national and international artists meet historical squares, lively audience atmosphere, and the distinctive sound of an open-air evening.

Music under the open sky

The concert series stands for atmospheric live experiences at special locations in Mainz. Citadel, Volkspark, Marktplatz, and other squares combine summer lightness with professional concert sound. Between light moods, stage performances, and collective singing, a concert experience is created that goes far beyond the individual song.

From pop to rock: a versatile program

Summer in the City presents different music styles, appealing to a broad audience. The series has a long history: From the Mainz tent festival that began in 1997 in Volkspark, the now-established open-air concert series developed from 2010 onwards. Since then, great voices, distinctive bands, and unique live moments have been part of Mainz's cultural summer.

Historical backdrops, modern concert sound

The special strength of Summer in the City lies in the interplay of place and music. Historical walls, expansive green spaces, and squares in the heart of the city create an impressive acoustic and visual stage. The sound unfolds outdoors with energy and closeness while the audience celebrates, dances, and sings together in the summer.

A fixed date in the Mainz cultural summer

For over 15 years, the series has brought open-air concerts to the most beautiful squares in the city. The organization and implementation are the responsibility of mainzplus GmbH. The event series attracts numerous visitors annually and connects concert culture, city experience, and summer atmosphere to a significant highlight in the event calendar.
