About this event

Three days of open-air music on the Rhine waterfront beside Cologne's chocolate museum, part of the city's official Sommer Koeln programme. Friday opens with a global music DJ set, Saturday brings a full day of world music to the stage, and Sunday hands the harbour over to massed choirs. The Rheinauhafen setting is among the city's most striking.

Why we picked it

The strongest free music weekend in Cologne inside the window, on a photogenic stretch of the Rhine, and officially programmed by the city.

Free entry

Every Sommer Koeln listing states "Eintritt: frei". The chocolate museum itself is separately ticketed.
