The renowned Splash! festival held on the shores of Oberrabenstein reservoir in Chemnitz has grooved its way to the title of Europe's most popular hip-hop and reggae festival.

Europe's top hip-hop and reggae festival
Hip-hop and reggae fans have long regarded the Splash! festival as an unmissable event, and it's now a fixture in the festival calendar. On two stages and in four marquees, the latest sounds in hip-hop and reggae, along with dancehall, R’n’B, drum and bass and soul, are performed by German and international artists. Bust a groove and feel the festival vibe!

Even the city's name is part of its fascinating history - after German reunification in 1990 it was changed back to "Chemnitz" from "Karl Marx Stadt". A walk around the city should include its many churches, the Gründerzeit quarter in the Kassberg district and the Red Tower, the city's most famous landmark.

Chemnitz is a city with a progressive approach to the arts. A wealth of cultural attractions together with museums full of fascinating exhibits make it a paradise for art enthusiasts.
