Spring brings the Rock in Rautheim inclusive music festival on May 8–9, organised by Kulturinitiative Rautheim e.V. to ensure accessibility standards for all. Shortly after, the Lokpark Open-Air Concerts will feature a variety of artists from May 29 to June 6.
June sees two major events: the Day of Lower Saxony festival from June 12–14, celebrating regional culture, and the Theaterformen festival from June 18–26, turning venues across Brunswick into stages for performances. Throughout the summer, the State Museum’s interactive exhibition Eating and Drinking: A Journey Through Body and Time remains open until August 30.
