Art(e)facts Festival 2026

Art(e)facts Festival 2026 – 48 Hours of Art & Culture 

On July 18 & 19, 2026, the area around the Park Café in Cologne will transform into an interdisciplinary experience space: an open-air gallery meets a curated art and music program, featuring two stages—one open-air and one indoor—with 35 hours of non-stop music! Progressive rhythms and pure house sounds, including a special live act! The transition into the night is seamless: international and local artists will perform electronic music across multiple floors—from timeless house sounds to driving club sets.
