Summer feeling right in Erlangen: The Sternla Castle Beach turns the Castle Square into a vacation island
The Sternla Castle Beach brings real beach vibes to downtown Erlangen in 2026. Amidst 200 tons of sand, sun loungers, beach chairs, food trucks, cool drinks, and live music, a summer multi-day experience with a relaxed festival atmosphere and strong sense of community is created at the Castle Square.
A city beach with character
Since 2005, this format has shaped the Erlangen summer and has established itself as a special meeting point for friend groups, families, and after-work guests. The Castle Beach is organized jointly by the City Management Erlangen e. V. and the dopamin.events GmbH & Co KG. It is precisely this combination of city center location, summer lightness, and regional roots that gives the event its appeal.
Sand, lounge feeling, and relaxed open-air acoustics
On around 1,500 square meters, beach atmosphere meets city flair. Sun loungers, beach chairs, and reservable lounge areas create space to unwind, while DJs, show acts, and live music provide the perfect summer moments. Flammkuchen, curry wurst, as well as Mediterranean and vegan options are available – complemented by Sternla beer, sparkling wine, and wine. The result is not a loud mass festival, but a relaxed place with pleasant open-air acoustics.
