ANNOTOPIA Festival 2026 - Lüdinghausen

Germany's largest fantasy festival takes place at six locations for the first time - including a premiere and a spectacular return.

ANNOTOPIA 2026 - Ticket sales have started

Organizer noa entertainment from Harsewinkel (East Westphalia) traditionally opens ticket sales for the ANNOTOPIA 2026 festivals before Advent, bringing plenty of surprises. Together with local partners, they promise an unforgettable spectacle for the whole family under the motto "Your dreams await you!".

ANNOTOPIA brought fantasy festivals to Germany in 2018 - with great success. The already established locations in Lüdinghausen (Burg Vischering), Rotenburg an der Fulda (Schlosspark) and Bad Mergentheim (Residenzschloss) have attracted up to 10,000 visitors from across Germany and beyond in recent years. The scale of ANNOTOPIA is evident in the number of participants: up to 750 artists, merchants and performers take part.

Fictional creatures from various eras gather at beautiful and atmospheric locations: fairies, elves, dwarves, witches, dragons and dinosaurs. Well-known characters from "Star Wars" and "The Lord of the Rings" also appear, along with Vikings and pirates, Romans, cowboys and Native Americans. Those wanting even more should look out for Victorian steampunks or medieval knights. Visitors feel like they're in the film "Night at the Museum". Culinary highlights are not forgotten either.
