Summer feeling in the middle of Erlangen: The Sternla SchlossBeach becomes an urban holiday island
The Sternla SchlossBeach 2026 transforms the castle square in Erlangen from June 25 to August 9 into a summery oasis of well-being with beach atmosphere, music, and relaxed festival vibes. On about 1,500 square meters, 200 tons of sand, deck chairs, beach baskets, food trucks, live music, and DJs meet the urban heart of the city center.

A city beach with tradition and character
Since 2005, the SchlossBeach has been a staple of the Erlangen summer and has established itself as a meeting point for friend groups, families, and after-work guests. This format is organized by the City Management Erlangen e. V. together with dopamin.events GmbH & Co KG. The combination of downtown location, beach ambiance, and regional identity creates the charm of this multi-day experience.
