Chinese cultural festivals in Germany

Overview

In September 2026, several German cities hosted events to promote Chinese culture and strengthen international ties.

In Duisburg, the Duisburg China Festival opened with performances by nearly 40 artists from the Wuhan Song and Dance Theatre. The event highlighted the sister-city relationship between Duisburg and Wuhan established in 1982, featuring Peking opera, acrobatics, and traditional songs. Local officials, including Mayor Soeren Link, noted the festival’s role in fostering German-Chinese friendship through dialogue.

Simultaneously, other German cities organized dedicated cultural weeks. Düsseldorf hosted a Chinese Week from September 12 to 19, featuring calligraphy, Tai Chi, and culinary offerings. Dortmund scheduled events from September 21 to 27, including martial arts sessions, film screenings, and celebrations of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
