Münsterland Festival

Every two years, for five weeks in autumn, the Münsterland Festival, funded by the Regional Cultural Policy (RKP), helps to overcome borders in Europe. With music, art and dialogue, the traditions and attitude to life of a European country or a specific region flow into the Münsterland. For this is the special conceptual aspect of the series of events that began in 2005. The extensive programme is not staged in the region's large event halls and museums, 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. The artists represent the cultural diversity and current trends of the respective host region. More important is the mutual open-mindedness. The concerts in particular, thanks to the unusual spatial proximity between musicians and audience, also create an emotional closeness that turns the concert into a togetherness. Exhibitions, a graphics project and dialogues, which are, among other things, an experimental field for new ideas of mutual rapprochement as excursions, expand the engagement with the culture of the host region.

part 12 with host country Finland - 6 October to 5 November 2023

Eagerly awaited, now it's finalised: the Münsterland Festival 2025 is heading to the south of Europe - to Spain!

As in previous editions, we will not be presenting several countries together, but rather focussing entirely on the many facets and cultural depth of a single country. Because in Spain, one of the largest and most diverse countries in Europe, there is a lot to discover between the green Atlantic coast in the north and the hot beaches of Andalusia. In 2025, we present you with an authentic Spanish programme that includes the unexpected, the surprising and, of course, the 'typically' Spanish. We are very pleased to have been able to win the Embassy of Spain with its cultural department for the 13th edition of the Münsterland Festival at an early stage.

Look forward to the Münsterland Festival part 13 in autumn 2025 with guest country Spain!
