About this festival
Bucht der Träumer* 2026 takes place from 13 to 17 August at Helenesee near Frankfurt (Oder). The multi-day festival brings together electronic music and live acts with workshops, retreat spaces and expansive lakeside grounds. Ten stages are spread across distinct areas between the forest and shore.
Techno, house, psytrance, downtempo and disco shape the musical programme. A published line-up is not the focus; instead, the edition centres on the overall experience and a range of dancefloors. There is also a sauna oasis, circus tent and awareness provision. The no-photo policy on the dancefloors creates space for focused partying. With five festival days, Bucht der Träumer* is among Brandenburg's longer electronic events in August. Regular retreat spaces complement the lakeside setting.
Camping
Camping at Bucht der Träumer* 2026 on the campsite by Helenesee is included in the ticket price. Separate camper tickets for motorhomes and campervans start at €57, while car parking tickets cost €23. Tents and camping equipment can be hired and set up on site through partners. Camping stoves are not permitted due to the risk of forest fires.
