Overview
Intro

Culture meets nature - the festival by the water
From 12 to 14 June 2026, the cultural festival will combine the unique river landscape and the historic Rheinau monastery island with a colorful, playful program of music, theater, artistry, literature and art for the fifth time. The festival invites you to make discoveries in a unique and poetic atmosphere. Special highlights are the musical Rhine serenade, the creative island journey and the special readings by Franz Hohler, Lara Stoll and Ursus Wehrli.
The Rheinau Island Festival transforms the surroundings of the monastery island into a place of senses and discoveries. This unique festival combines artistry, theater, music and literature with the island's natural surroundings, merging everything into a single experience. Over 30 different events await visitors in the main and supporting program.
The musical Rhine serenade with music boats on the Rhine takes center stage on Friday and the poetic island journey on Saturday and Sunday. Staged by the cabaret duo schön&gut, this will take visitors across land and water to hidden places where they will be surprised by cultural interactions. The paid program is rounded off by exclusive readings on the banks of the Rhine with Franz Hohler, Lara Stoll and Ursus Wehrli, and Sunday begins with a delicious brunch accompanied by the folk world music duo Tante Friedl. In addition, the unique sound project "Movements" by Beat Gysin can be experienced, in which the audience is guided blindly through time, space and sound.
