Regensburg kicks off the Bavarian Energy Days 2026 with energy

On July 18, 2026, Neupfarrplatz in Regensburg will transform into a lively stage for the energy transition, participatory actions, and information. The kick-off event of the Bavarian Energy Days combines a political signal, illustrative practice, and family-friendly programming into an open event experience in the heart of the old town.

A place that makes energy visible

Starting at 12:00 PM, the grand opening event will set the tone for the action week from July 18 to 26, 2026. Visitors will experience how renewable energies, heat, wind power, energy consulting, and climate protection come together in a compact format. Neupfarrplatz will become an open meeting point for everyone who wants not just to learn about the energy transition but to experience it firsthand.

Participate instead of just listening

The interactive stations are particularly defining: With Energy Bikes, visitors can generate their own electricity and measure their performance. Additionally, there will be theme pavilions, information offerings, and actions that focus on energy supply, energy conservation, and innovative technologies. This creates closeness, movement, and exactly the kind of audience atmosphere that makes a city center special on a summer day.

Program for families and the curious

Children will also find their own offerings with hand-crank racetracks, painting stations, and other participatory ideas. Thus, an event experience emerges that conveys technical topics in an understandable, accessible, and entertaining way. The mix of information, action, and playful engagement appeals to families, interested individuals from the region, and anyone who wants to connect sustainable future topics with a visit to Regensburg.

Official opening with political weight

The kick-off event receives additional attention from the official opening by Hubert Aiwanger, supported by Tobias Gotthardt and Regensburg’s Mayor Dr. Thomas Burger. The day will be guided by Bernhard Mahler and Valerie Fischer, musically accompanied by DJ Tom Larusso. This ensures a smooth flow between information, atmosphere, and stage moments.

Practical information for visitors

The event takes place outdoors at Neupfarrplatz in the Regensburg old town. According to the organizer, it is free of charge, and no registration is required. For getting there, the use of public transport is recommended due to the central city location; municipal parking and P+R offerings are available around the old town. The square is located in the core area of the old town and is easily accessible as a public space.

Those who want to experience the Bavarian Energy Days live will find the ideal starting point here: entertaining, informative, and in the heart of the city. The kick-off event connects expert knowledge, citizen engagement, and summery open-air atmosphere into an appointment that makes the energy transition tangible.
