Music festivals in Frankfurt Rhine-Main and National

Summertime is festival time!

And that means unwinding, switching off from the stress of everyday life, enjoying the joy of life and, of course, lots of good music. Whether it's hip-hop, EDM, singer-songwriter, reggae, rock or pop music, international stars or newcomers - fans of all music genres will get their money's worth at the numerous festivals in Frankfurt and the surrounding area. Here are some of the highlights:

Festivals in Frankfurt, Hesse and Rhine-Main

If you are looking for art and antiques, jewelry or porcelain, you should definitely visit the auctions at Auktionshaus Arnold. In addition to the actual auction dates, there are also special preview dates where you can take a closer look at the items being auctioned and plan a budget for them if you like them.

Not everything that is brought to the pawn shop is picked up again. Auctioneer Andreas Rückert, who regularly offers auctions of pawned items, takes care of such things. These auctions often take place in the Bürgerhaus Bornheim. Everything that can be turned into money in pawnshops is on offer here, from jewelry and musical instruments to electrical items, works of art and jackets.

For more than five decades, the Döbritz auction house has been auctioning paintings, prints, photographs, icons, sculptures, tapestries, carpets, clocks, furniture, silver, porcelain and jewelry. About two weeks before the respective auctions, highlight items can be viewed in a catalog, which can be picked up directly at the auction house or ordered home.
