May week

A city becomes a stage

Every year from the second Friday in May, Osnabrück's city centre is transformed into an open-air stage: May Week, one of the largest city festivals in the north-west, attracts around 600,000 visitors to the City of Peace. For ten days, the festival offers a varied programme on several stages and delights with musical, cultural and culinary highlights that enliven the city centre. The May Week 2025 takes place from 9 - 18 May.
