Italian night

The sweet life in the heart of Kelheim

July 10, 2026

For one evening, our city is transformed into a little piece of Italy - full of joie de vivre, passion and Mediterranean flair. When warm lights illuminate the alleyways, music rings through the streets and the aroma of Italian delicacies fills the air, a night begins that touches all the senses.

The Italian Night invites you to leave everyday life behind and enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle together. Whether with a glass of wine, with friends in the open air or dancing to Italian music - Kelheim shows its most enjoyable and warm side.

Let yourself be enchanted, stroll through our old town, and experience moments like a balmy summer night on the Mediterranean. We look forward to celebrating an unforgettable evening with you!

24-Hour Race Kelheim 2026

The Kelheim 24-hour race has been held since 1997, making it Germany's oldest bicycle race of this format. The course has remained unchanged since its premiere: After the serpent-like climb below the Liberation Hall and another ascent at the Col de Stausacker, the course is mostly flat. A highlight is the ride through the beer tent in Kelheim's old town. Amidst celebrating spectators and brass music, the transition zone is also located there. The race is organized by RSC Kelheim, which has already donated 187,000 euros to charitable causes from the entry fees.

As the participant limit for 2026 has already been reached, registration is unfortunately no longer possible!

Anticipation is the greatest joy
