Mainzer Johannisnacht

The Mainz Johannis Night 2026 will be celebrated from June 19 to June 22, 2026, in the city center of Mainz. This annual festival honors Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of printing with movable type, with a variety of events including street art, rides, musical performances, and traditional customs like the "Gautschen."

A highlight of the Johannis Night is the artists' market, which takes place along the banks of the Rhine from Kurfürstenbrunnen to Fischtorplatz. Here, artists showcase their handmade works such as jewelry, clothing, and decorations. Don't miss the antiquarian book market, which invites you to browse this year again in and around Schillerplatz and Ballplatz.

Look forward to a diverse and lively festival that transforms the city center of Mainz into a vibrant cultural mile.
