Street Food Festival

Rüdesheim Street Food Festival & Hafenpark Festival 2026
Hafenparkfest// Kids Area// DJ Area// Free Entry

We are coming back: Our food trucks and stalls with regional and international delicacies will once again stop in Rüdesheim from Friday, 08.05.2026 to Sunday, 10.05.2026, as part of the Hafenpark Festival.
This means for visitors: A delicious weekend with friends and family right in the Hafenpark with great seating, a small wine village, and a view of the Rhine.  

Various street performers will visit us and provide a great atmosphere .
Our recommendation: Bring picnic blankets and enjoy the numerous shaded spots under the old trees in addition to the 1000 seating options, or sunbathe with a view of the Rhine and passing ships. The impressive black poplar in Hafenpark is also a natural monument, and those who need more cooling can take a detour to the nearby outdoor pool “Asbach Bad.”  

“We are very much looking forward to this very special event in Rüdesheim. The location is fantastic and provides the perfect backdrop for snacks from around the world - we would like to thank the city and all visitors who support us and want to experience a lovely weekend with a Rhine panorama.”, Kai Kauermann, Managing Director of Stadtleben GmbH.

For the little adventurers, there will be a large children's area with wooden toys, a block world, and numerous bouncy castles. A special highlight will be the giant hippopotamus castle.  

A delightful weekend in the well-kept Hafenpark with a view of the Rhine

We also warmly invite all regional neighbors, for example from Bingen or Lorch, to join us this weekend in beautiful Rüdesheim in the newly renovated Hafenpark to revive the trend of street food culture!

Many paths lead to the Rüdesheim Street Food Festival

Whether as part of an extensive bike tour, a summery walk directly along the Rhine, a drive in a convertible through the beautiful Rheingau, or comfortably by ferry – the Rüdesheim Street Food Festival warmly welcomes all weekend visitors and hungry guests.
A visit to the nearby old town including Drosselgasse or a ride on the nostalgic cable car to float over the vines up to the Niederwalddenkmal is also recommended. Another suggestion is the
Hindenburg Dam as a cultural monument. With cool drinks & delicacies from around the world, you can wonderfully recharge in the Hafenpark for your journey home or onward!

Indulge, marvel, meet friends 

This is how the wonderfully simple yet brilliant concept of the Street Food Festival series can be succinctly described, which has been enchanting culinary interested visitors of all ages and various backgrounds at various locations since autumn 2015. “Fine Dining” meets classic barbecue, vegan and vegetarian specialties meet “fast casual indulgences,” and a regional wine offering meets exotic selections. This unique culinary concept of diversity and good taste was awarded the Tourism Prize of the Wiesbaden and Rheingau-Taunus region in February 2016.
Stadtleben GmbH, together with its other partners, such as Raketenklub GmbH, wishes you lots of fun and good appetite! 

We are very much looking forward to bringing this culinary event to the city that welcomes us with open arms!
