Bühler Seenachtsfest 2027 on the Großer Alpsee: date & fireworks
The 2027 Bühler Seenachtsfest – the lakeside summer night festival in Bühl – is expected to take place on Saturday 31 July 2027, from 6 pm at the festival ground in Bühl on the Großer Alpsee. A balmy summer evening by the lake, live music drifting across the water and, to finish, a fireworks display set to music whose glowing shapes are reflected in the lake. Here you will find the date and programme, a look back at 2026 and our tips on where to stay just a few minutes from the festival ground.
When is the Bühler Seenachtsfest in 2027?
The Seenachtsfest has a fixed place in the calendar: always on the last Saturday in July. In 2027 that is 31 July. The town of Immenstadt has yet to announce the date officially; as soon as it does, you will find it here. Things get going from 6 pm at the festival ground on the eastern shore of the Großer Alpsee in Bühl, a district of Immenstadt. The fireworks start after dark.
Looking back: the Seenachtsfest 2026
In 2026 the festival took place on Saturday 25 July. From 6 pm the Spätzünder and the party brass band BockStark played, joined by the traditional costume society GTEV Edelweiß, the Dynamic Dance Cooperation and the DJs mhochzwei and Foley. New was the kitchen with vegetarian dishes. The highlight, as every year: the fireworks set to music, with glowing shapes rising over the lake in time to the music. The festival is organised by the Musikkapelle Bühl am Alpsee brass band.
The year before, the weather did not play along: in 2025 the Seenachtsfest had to be cancelled, and there is never an alternative date. That made the anticipation in 2026 all the greater.
Programme, admission and getting there
- In the early evening the festival ground on the eastern shore opens, with live music and DJs on stage.
- Admission: in 2026 reduced in the early evening and free for accompanied children; the organiser will publish the rules for 2027 in good time. Under-16s only with a parent or guardian.
- After dark: fireworks set to music over the Großer Alpsee.
- Shuttle bus between Immenstadt bus station and Bühl, running late into the night on the festival evening.
- In bad weather the festival is cancelled without a replacement date.
The Großer Alpsee as a backdrop
Covering around 247 hectares, the Großer Alpsee is the largest natural lake in the Allgäu. Framed by the Nagelfluhkette and the Grünten, the fireworks are reflected in the water. During the day you can swim at the Strandbad Bühl lido, head out on a SUP or stroll along the shore, then move straight on to the festival in the evening. You will find more ideas in our overview of places to visit in the Allgäu.
Where to stay for the Seenachtsfest: a holiday apartment in Immenstadt
After the last firework, take the shuttle bus or drive a few minutes home instead of facing a long journey: our holiday apartments in Immenstadt are around a five-minute drive from the festival ground in Bühl, and the Alpsee Panorama even overlooks the lake from its balcony. You arrive whenever suits you, and the code for self check-in is sent to your phone in advance. The apartments get booked up quickly around the festival.

Tips for your evening by the lake
- Come early: in the early evening the best spots on the shore are still free.
- Shuttle bus rather than car: the car parks in Bühl fill up quickly on the festival evening.
- Pack a jacket: it gets cool by the water after the fireworks.
- Keep an eye on the weather forecast and book your apartment with some leeway, as there is no alternative date.
- Round off the Sunday by the lake: lido, SUP or a walk along the shore.
Frequently asked questions about the Bühler Seenachtsfest
When is the Bühler Seenachtsfest in 2027?
Most likely on Saturday 31 July 2027. The festival traditionally takes place on the last Saturday in July, starting at 6 pm at the festival ground on the eastern shore of the Großer Alpsee. As soon as the town of Immenstadt confirms the date, we will add it here.
When do the fireworks start at the Seenachtsfest?
After dark, which at the end of July means late in the evening. The fireworks are synchronised with the music, and glowing shapes rise over the lake and are reflected in the water.
How do I get to the Seenachtsfest in Bühl?
Ideally by shuttle bus, which runs late into the night on the festival evening between Immenstadt bus station and Bühl. The organiser will publish the exact times for 2027 in good time. If you stay in Immenstadt, you do not need a car and do not have to worry about getting home.

Yes, there is an admission charge. In 2026 it was reduced in the early evening, and accompanied children got in free; the organiser will publish the rules for 2027 in good time. Young people under 16 are only admitted with a parent or guardian.
What happens in bad weather?
Then the Seenachtsfest is cancelled, and there is no alternative date. In 2025 it had to be called off because of the weather. So book your apartment with a little leeway – the Alpsee is worth a summer evening even without fireworks.
Can I see the fireworks from the holiday apartment?
The fireworks are best enjoyed right at the festival ground in Bühl, where the music plays along. From the balcony of our Alpsee Panorama in Immenstadt you can see the lake, and the festival ground is around a five-minute drive away.
