The Münsterland Festival

Every two years for one month in autumn, the Münsterland Festival brings the traditions and lifestyle of a European region to Münsterland with music, art and dialogue . In 2023 it will take place for the twelfth time!

The artists at the festival represent the cultural diversity and current trends of the respective host region. The extensive programme is not to be found in the large event halls and museums of the region, but in special, often somewhat smaller venues - in historic moated castles, former industrial wastelands, exhibition halls and art associations, selected concert halls or theatres. The musical focus is on jazz, pop, folk and classical music and is complemented by a diverse range of exhibitions and excursions.

Guests include well-known faces such as Iiro Rantala, Finland's best-known jazz pianist, as well as exciting up-and-coming musicians such as Antti Paalanen on the accordion or Elia Lombardini with his violin.
