For three whole days, from Friday through Sunday, June 12–14, 2026, celebrations will take place on and around Wilhelmstraße: A total of 240 food stands along Wilhelmstraße, Burgstraße, around the Hotel Nassauer Hof, on the Bowling Green, and on Warmer Damm will offer culinary delights from around the world. In addition, street performers will provide great entertainment.

In 2026, the Theatrium will also introduce a new interactive area in front of the Nassauer Hof: For the first time, the “Arena of Skills” from the DFL (German Football League), the DFL Foundation, and Sporthilfe will be part of the event. Families will also get their money’s worth this year in the new, even larger Toggo-Kinderland in the Kurpark: Attractive offerings provide the youngest guests with play modules, hands-on activities, and an entertaining program on the Showtruck stage.

Arts and crafts market

When selecting the approximately 75 artisans, priority is given to local artists, in part to ensure the shortest possible travel distance. Sustainability also plays a role in the food offerings at the approximately 170 vendor stands: As has already been the practice at the Sternschnuppenmarkt, vendors have committed to using reusable tableware or recyclable, biodegradable disposable tableware, among other measures.

History

In 1977, the Theatrium was launched to mark the reopening of the renovated Hessian State Theater. The following year, parts of Wilhelmstraße were closed off for the first time—the event became the “Wilhelmstraße Festival,” which has evolved into a true “classic” over the years. In 2025, it will be celebrated for the 46th time.
