From Friday to Sunday, June 12 to 14, 2026, there will be three days of celebrations on and around Wilhelmstraße: A total of 180 stalls along Wilhelmstraße, Burgstraße, around the Hotel Nassauer Hof, on the Bowling Green and the Warmen Damm will offer culinary delights from all over the world - such as "Ciao Italia" on the Warmen Damm with Italian specialties and the gourmet market in the Kurpark. Walking acts also provide great entertainment.

A program with a mix of shows, music and dance awaits on seven stages;

in front of the Kurhaus,
on the Warme Damm,
in front of the concert shell,
in the Burgstraße,
in front of the Hotel Nassauer Hof,
at the Kureck,

Arts and crafts market

When selecting the 70 or so artisans, emphasis is placed on regionality, among other things to ensure the shortest possible journey. Sustainability also plays a role in the food and drink on offer at the 170 or so stalls: as already practiced at the Sternschnuppenmarkt, the vendors have committed to using reusable tableware or recyclable, biodegradable disposable tableware, among other things.

History

The Theatrium was launched in 1977 to mark the reopening of the renovated Hessisches Staatstheater. The following year, parts of Wilhelmstrasse were cordoned off for the first time - the event became the "Wilhelmstrasse Festival", which has developed into a real "classic" over the years. In 2025, it will be celebrated for the 46th time.
