With the ART:WALK Festival on 13 June, Kö-Bogen opens the 2026 open-air season. Six more event series follow through September, turning the quarter around Königsallee into an open stage.
Two years after the first summer program, the curator crew at Kö-Bogen is expanding the series. Instead of single specials, 2026 brings recurring formats: salsa under open skies every Thursday evening, Sunset & Networking on Saturdays, festivals on selected weekends.
