Open Air Festival El Rocio

In the organizer's words:

El Rocío Festival in Cologne - Andalusian tradition in the middle of the Rhine

Experience the unique atmosphere of the famous Spanish Rocío festival in Cologne!
Look forward to an unforgettable Whitsunday full of music, dance, tradition and Andalusian joie de vivre - with the impressive backdrop of Cologne's Südstadt.

The solemn procession of the "Blanca Paloma", a holy mass in the Severinskirche church and a large open-air festival with paella, live music and dancing make this day a special experience for the whole family.

We start the day with Sevillanas and Spanish flair - but as the day progresses, we also open the stage to various Latin American music and dance styles. Together we want to make this festival a celebration for everyone: colorful, open, cheerful and full of cultural encounters.

The El Rocío festival should also be the start of the summer - a day full of sun, music, community and joie de vivre in the heart of Cologne.

Special thanks go to all the musicians who voluntarily take part in this festival and make this celebration possible with their art.

Immerse yourself in the colors of Andalusia and celebrate with us the
