Sand, sun, and city vacation
Here, festival atmosphere meets beach bar feeling: feet in the sand, a cool drink in hand, and a backdrop that immediately blurs out everyday life. The SchlossStrand focuses on lounge chairs, beach baskets, lounge areas, and a relaxed multi-day experience that brings Erlangen to life in the summer. The blend of beach ambiance, culinary delights, and music makes the place a meeting point for after-work guests, friend circles, and anyone looking for summer in the city.

Program with music, enjoyment, and relaxed summer culture
The offerings include live music, DJs, and show acts as well as a food concept featuring tarte flambée, currywurst, Mediterranean and vegan options. Regional meat, vegetables from the Erlangen weekly market, and an efficient service concept underscore the commitment to relaxed enjoyment without long waiting times. According to the official description, the SchlossStrand has been a fixed summer fixture in Erlangen since 2005. ([schlossstrand.de](https://www.schlossstrand.de/))
