Internationales Spielbudenfestival

• Street Festivals

Stunts at dizzying heights, award-winning comedy and an explosive fire show: the Spielbudenfestival is entering its fourth round!

The international Spielbuden Festival will take place in St. Pauli from July 18 to 20, 2025. The festival, which is being organized by the Corny Littmann Foundation for Art and Culture for the fourth time on the Spielbudenplatz, will present a colorful potpourri of daring stunts, top dance performances, award-winning comedy and breathtaking fire shows this year.

Street art on the Spielbudenplatz has a long tradition: the first wooden booths were set up in 1795, where puppet theaters and tightrope walkers, among others, put on performances. These booths gave the square its name. The Spielbuden Festival on St. Pauli builds on this tradition on the one hand and presents modern approaches to various genres such as acrobatics, comedy, music, magic and curiosities on the other.

Sunday is family day . As in previous years, children and young people from various Hamburg circus schools and projects will present their skills in a circus ring, moderated by Konrad Stöckel .

This year, the international Spielbuden Festival in St. Pauli will be accessible to all visitors free of charge and without barriers . The artists are still happy to receive generous hat money .
