"Night of the Volcanoes 2026"

More than 10,000 years ago, fire-breathing volcanoes in the Laacher See region spewed ash into the sky, and streams of molten lava slowly cooled into solid basalt. The organizers of the “Night of the Volcanoes” aim to commemorate these forces of nature that shaped our magnificent landscape. The highlight of the event week is now traditionally a volcanic fire spectacle. The 19th Night of the Volcanoes will take place from July 17–26, 2026, around Lake Laach. The organizers have planned a wide variety of activities surrounding this highlight. There is something for everyone. Concerts, festivals, comedy, hikes, lectures, and much more will build anticipation for this mega-event. This year, the cultural and event week will conclude with the “Festival of Lights” in Hain in the Brohl Valley, featuring an RPR1 stage.
