Badenia Advent, 14th International Choir and Orchestra Festival, Baden
Baden, Germany
02 December - 06 December 2026
The spa town of Baden-Baden is one of Germany’s most elegant destinations, known for its thermal baths, grand architecture, and beautiful setting at the edge of the Black Forest. Once favoured by European royalty and artists, the town offers a unique blend of culture, history, and festive charm.
During the Advent season, Baden-Baden transforms into a magical winter destination, with traditional Christmas markets, festive lights, and atmospheric concert venues.
The Badenia Advent Music Festival invites choirs and orchestras from around the world to perform in this stunning setting. Festival concerts take place in prestigious venues, offering participants the opportunity to share music in a truly special environment.
