Cultural summer in Meißen: Free celebrations for young and old!

It's currently busy in Meißen. During the Saxon summer holidays, numerous events are on the program as part of the cultural summer. The city of Meißen enriches this with a variety of activities that primarily appeal to young people. The JuClu 16. e.V. has planned a party for the young people of Meißen this Friday. It starts at 7 p.m. at the youth bus at the skate park - the drum and bass music will create a great atmosphere.

But that's not all: on Saturday from 3 p.m. it's “Strands & Sanden” – an event that not only makes children's hearts beat faster. Here the little ones can build sandcastles and have fun in a workshop at the adult education center. The grown-ups, on the other hand, can enjoy cocktails and listen to the beats of the DJs in the event's BeachBar. The good news: Admission to all events is free, which increases the possibility of spending a colorful and varied day. Further details can be found on the city of Meißen website.

A look at the highlights

A very special highlight of the cultural summer will take place on July 22nd at 7:30 p.m. in the St. Afra Church. There, singing students will present their talent together with professional singers as part of a summer master course. So this event is a must for all music lovers.

If you are still looking for more activities during your summer holidays, you shouldn't miss the highlights in Saxony. Cities like Dresden and Leipzig also have a variety of free offers for families, from outdoor adventures to robot workshops and readings. These events are ideal for enjoying the most wonderful time of the year together with the family. For example, on July 15th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 31st and August 5th, 2025 there will be exciting experiments in the Technical Collections Dresden that are designed for primary school children (3 euros per child).
