When water meets fire, light dances to music and lasers cut through the night sky, it’s time for Elementaro – the unique event experience that transforms Bad Vilbel into a sea of colors, sounds and emotions every year.
On the weekends of September 18–19 & 25–26, 2026, the Bad Vilbel festival grounds will once again turn into a stage for this elemental spectacle – a show highlight that has already thrilled more than 30,000 guests and is setting new standards again this year.
A feast for all the senses
Elementaro is more than just a show – it’s an experience guaranteed to give you goosebumps. Water fountains over 35 meters high, dancing fans of fire, breathtaking laser effects, atmospheric lighting and a massive water wall merge into a complete work of art of technology, emotion and music.
Whether classical melodies, modern beats or moving soundtracks – every element is perfectly synchronized with the music and tells its own story. New every year, different every year, but always unforgettable.
Where food meets art
From 4:30 PM, the evening begins with live music, fine wines and international delicacies. A varied street-food selection delights every palate – from savory to sweet, from regional to exotic. Perfect for getting in the mood for the show or recharging during the breaks.
Please note: Out of consideration for the on-site catering, you may not bring your own food and drinks.
An event with responsibility
Elementaro stands not only for spectacular entertainment, but also for sustainability. With energy-saving LED technology, environmentally friendly water use and a modern line-array sound system, the event follows a mindful concept that delivers a big impact with a small ecological footprint.
