Summer days like by the sea: Sternla SchlossStrand Erlangen brings vacation vibes to the heart of the city
In the middle of the castle square, Erlangen will transform again in 2026 into a summer well-being oasis: The Sternla SchlossStrand invites you from June 25 to August 9, 2026, to enjoy sand, sun loungers, drinks, live music, and relaxed city vacation vibes. This event has been running since 2005 and is organized by City Management Erlangen in collaboration with dopamin.events. ([schlossstrand.de](https://www.schlossstrand.de/))
Sand, sun, and city beach atmosphere
About 1,500 square meters of beach area, 200 tons of sand, and a view of the historic castle provide an unusually light, summery backdrop for the castle square. Those who take a seat here will find not a classic festival ground, but an open multi-day experience with a lounge character, culinary offerings, and a relaxed festival atmosphere in the city center.

Program with music, culinary delights, and after-work flair
The SchlossStrand focuses on live music, DJs, and show acts, as well as a wide selection of food and drinks. The menu includes flammkuchen, currywurst, Mediterranean and vegan options, along with Sternla beer, winemaker sparkling wine, and various wines. The event's website explicitly mentions the beach as a meeting place for friends, lunch breaks, and after-work drinks. ([schlossstrand.de](https://www.schlossstrand.de/))

Dogs on leashes are also welcome, emphasizing the event's approachable, community-oriented character. ([schlossstrand.de](https://www.schlossstrand.de/))
