Bad Homburg has a proud tradition as a spa resort. It's a town that knows how to combine its historic charm with a surprisingly young and lively vibe, and a place where something is happening virtually every day of the year. Lantern Festival
Every year on the first weekend in September the whole town centre is bathed in the glow of houses and shops festooned with lights and lanterns. Live music is staged at a number of venues across the town, while stalls and fairground rides provide fun and entertainment. Highpoints of the festival are the lantern procession and the crowning of the "lantern queen", while the rooms of the landgraves' castle are festively lit by a thousand candles. The event culminates in a spectacular firework display.FUGATO international organ festival
Every September the international organ festival takes place in Bad Homburg, presenting an eclectic programme of high-calibre events. The "Arbeitskreis Orgelkunst", the town's organ society, invites internationally acclaimed organists, ensembles, soloists and conductors to showcase their talents. Bad Homburg is only able to host this festival as it is blessed with a unique range of organs. These priceless instruments, spanning three centuries, allow authentic performances of pieces from the baroque to the modern.
