This year, once again, Hüxstraße is cooperating with the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival and adopting its musical theme – which in 2025 is Istanbul.
On Saturday, July 5, 2025, from 11 a.m., Hüxstraße in Lübeck will once again transform into a vibrant festival mile under the motto "Istanbul as a Guest".
Visitors can look forward to a colorful, diverse program celebrating the cultural and musical richness of Istanbul and the unique charm of Lübeck’s traditional shopping street.
A central element of the festival is the musical program. Artists, choirs, and bands will bring both traditional and modern sounds to the street – music perfectly fitting the Istanbul theme:
- Cemalettin & Friends – Traditional Turkish Music (Walking Act)
- Makam – Turkish Music: Classical & Modern
- Med Cezir – Turkish/International Pop/Rock
- LAKD Cultural and Arts Association – Multicultural Choir & Music Ensemble
- Huner Rojman – Saz and Keyboard – Turkish Folk and Modern
- PasParTouT Theater – Cock-Tales (Walking Act)
- Walking Act – Rhythmic surprises along the street
- OneMoreSong – Acoustic Pop and Pop-Rock
- House Band of Schuh Hoffmann – Singer/Songwriter
Experience, Discover, Participate – What Visitors Can Expect
Art, crafts, cuisine, and culture: stands with specialties, workshops, and lovingly decorated displays will invite you to stroll. The focus is not only on Istanbul, but also on the creativity and commitment of local participants.
