CULTURE
The festival summer in a unique setting within the medieval moated castle from the 12th century. Theater, musicals, opera – cultural experiences with the ruins as a backdrop.
Every year from mid-April to mid-September, there’s a diverse program here; from classical to modern, from dramatic to humorous.
Children’s performances are also regularly staged.
The Bad Vilbel Town Hall, in conjunction with the renovated Kurhaus, is the new event location in the heart of the city. Modern and flexible, it’s the perfect host for large and small events, concerts, or conferences in the Rhine-Main region.
The Alte Mühle is one of the city’s cultural hubs, located in and around the former grain mill on Lohstraße, directly on the banks of the Nidda.
With sophisticated and entertaining events ranging from cabaret and music (from pop to classical) to puppet theater for adults, children’s theater, cinema, and an art gallery, the Alte Mühle is a household name throughout the region for quality and variety.
From mid-July to early August, enjoy 15 blockbuster films under the open sky on a screen as big as a three-room apartment, with incomparable Dolby SR digital surround sound. Comfortable seats with armrests & backrests, or even more open-air vibes on the “Wiesen-Empore”.
Read, listen, see – digitally or analog. And more than that, the City Library also offers events.
It never gets boring here; the City Library is known for innovative ideas related to reading and readings. Have you ever attended a gramophone reading? You can find something like that here!
Anyone walking through Bad Vilbel will discover a wide range of genres and styles. Numerous artworks are displayed in public spaces.
They can be discovered especially in the park areas, in the Spa and Castle Park, around the moated castle, as well as in the floodplain landscape of the Massenheim district, and in the Alte Mühle Gallery.
