Campuslichter: Music and more at Hubland

06/23/2026

Music, food trucks, public viewing and a shuttle bus from the city centre to Hubland: ‘Campuslichter’ is one of the university’s biggest summer festivals. It kicks off again on Thursday 25 June.

The JMU student's representation is organising the ‘Campuslichter’ summer festival for all students and staff at the University of Würzburg. It will take place on Thursday 25 June from 5 pm on the Hubland South Campus.

What the festival has to offer: Live bands playing a variety of musical genres will perform on the atmospherically lit campus. There will be food trucks offering vegetarian and vegan options alongside meat dishes. And for the first time, card payments will be accepted.

Another special feature: to coincide with the Football World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the USA, the student's representation is organising a public viewing event in addition to the festival programme. This is because, on that day, the German national team will face Ecuador in the group stage. The live broadcast starts at 10 pm on the lawn between the M2 computer science building and the natural sciences lecture theatre building.

Admission is free, and the event ends at 11 pm. The public viewing will continue until the end of the football match.
