2nd Kaiser-Passage-Hoffest
On August 1 & 2, 2025, the "Zentrale Kaiserstraße" quarter celebrates the 2nd Kaiser-Passage-Hoffest!
On August 1 and 2, 2025 , the Passagehof in Karlsruhe's
city center will once again be transformed into a lively festival area full of
music, encounters and culinary diversity. After the successful
launch last year, the Kaiser-Passage-Hoffest is entering its second round -
even bigger, more diverse and more exciting.
For two days, visitors can look forward to a varied program on the large stage in the Passagehof:
Friday, 1 August: school bands from the region show what they are made of at the
school band competition - rousing, loud,
authentic. The audience votes live for the winner.
Saturday,
August 2: In the band contest for amateur and student bands,
up-and-coming talents compete against each other. Here, too, the
audience will decide by live voting.
Additional main acts will provide musical highlights on both days - from rock to relaxed. Exactly who will be playing is still a secret - but one thing is for sure: it will be atmospheric!
There will also be street food, cool drinks and a relaxed atmosphere to linger, enjoy and sway along. Admission is free on both days.
The festival is sponsored by the City of Karlsruhe's Office for Urban Development as part of the "City Transformation" program, which is part of the federal "Sustainable Inner Cities and Centres" program.
Whether young or old, music fan or strolling enthusiast - the Kaiser-Passage-Hoffest 2025 is a festival for everyone who wants to experience Karlsruhe in its most creative form.
The event has a charitable purpose. With a fundraising campaign in favor of the "Kinder & Jugendarche Karlsruhe e.V.", all guests can
