Digital DAS FEST Advent calendar: 24 little treats to look forward to at the FEST
When the first candle is lit in Karlsruhe, the DAS FEST family also gets into the festive spirit. Starting on 1 December, the Advent campaign kicks off with the slogan ‘DAS wird ein FEST! Das schönste Geschenk: gemeinsam feiern!’ (It's going to be a party! The best gift: celebrating together!), bringing a touch of summer party spirit to the cold season. With daily surprises, competitions and many emotional moments, DAS FEST wants to thank its fans at the end of the year – and at the same time whet their appetite for the coming FEST summer.
From 1 to 24 December, a digital door will open every day on the DAS FEST Instagram channel (@dasfestkarlsruhe). Behind it are activities throughout the city: hidden gift boxes in Karlsruhe, exclusive competitions together with long-standing partners such as BGV, Sparkasse Karlsruhe, billiger.de, dm, SWEG and Freundeskreis der Schlosslichtspiele e.V., as well as nostalgic reviews of special FEST moments. A real highlight awaits on St. Nicholas Day, 6 December: the first top acts for DAS FEST 2026 are hidden behind the door.
