In­vit­a­tion: Li­bori Fair Stroll

As the summer semester comes to an end, we warmly invite you to take some time to unwind and explore one of Paderborn’s most loved traditions—the historic Libori fair, a festive celebration that has been bringing the city together since the year 836.

Running from 25 July to 2 August 2026, the Libori Fair transforms the city centre with a unique blend of centuries-old ecclesiastical customs and vibrant festivities. The fair features a wide-ranging programme, including street arts, concerts, theatre performances, (headphone) parties, and a grand closing firework. For a detailed overview of these events, please visit the official Libori homepage (in German). You can read more about the fair’s history in this brochure (in English). 

We’d be delighted to have you join us for our annual Libori Fair Stroll on Tuesday, 28 July 2026 at 6.00 pm. We’ll meet as a group and stroll through the fairgrounds together, taking in the atmosphere, sharing a drink, and getting to know fellow international colleagues in a relaxed setting.
