For the seventh time the palaces on the Elbe will be opening their grounds in the evenings to visitors for this special event. On Saturday, July 18, over 400 artists will appear in more than 70 concerts. A huge variety of music, ranging from jazz to classical and rock, will be on offer. People dressed as mythical creatures will set the scene and illuminated paths will lead visitors through the grounds, and link the stages with food and drink stands.

A highlight will be the projections on the facade of Albrechtsberg Palace. Visitors can also look forward to a fireworks display that can also be seen from the opposite bank of the Elbe for free.
