What's happening in May 2025? - Events in Leipzig
You can feel it, can't you? That nervous tingling in your feet when the sun lingers longer than your last Tinder match. Leipzig in May is like that one playlist you accidentally put together perfectly: a little wild, a little deep, a little "what the hell was that just now?" - but somehow it fits. And you want more of it.
So, if you're wondering what's going on in Leipzig in May, the honest answer is: everything. And most of it is happening while you're about to miss it - unless you're prepared to get involved. Get out there. Eyes open, heart open. Because sometimes the best event is the one you didn't know you were going to dance at in the morning. đź’ś

What are popular venues in Leipzig?
In addition to the large venues such as the Quarterback Immobilien Arena, the Felsenkeller or Haus Auensee, there are many other spots: e.g. the Clara Zetkin Park for open-air events, the Moritzbastei for parties and readings or the Grassi Museum for cultural events. The market square or the Agra are popular for markets and festivals.
Are there also free events?
By all means! Leipzig offers many free events, especially in spring and summer - from street festivals to open-air cinema, district festivals, markets and concerts in the park.
What is the best way to get to the venues?
Leipzig's public transport network is excellent - you can get almost anywhere by streetcar, bus and S-Bahn. The LVB app is handy for planning. Many locations are also easy to reach by bike, especially when the weather is nice.
When should I buy tickets?
For larger events and concerts, it is worth buying tickets early - many events sell out quickly. For smaller events, you can often still get tickets spontaneously or even buy them directly at the Box Office.
What happens to open-air events in bad weather?
This depends on the event - some are moved indoors, others are canceled or postponed. It's best to check the organizer's website or social media channels shortly beforehand.
