Hannover is probably best known for having the world's largest fairground, which has become home to massively popular expos and festivals down the decades. These are always worth looking out for when you search Hannover event tickets on StubHub, and the main ones to attend are Oktoberfest Hannover and, of course, the iconic Hannover Trade Fair. It has accumulated a dense concentration of theatres, and cabaret performances are some of the most well-attended events in the city. Both these genres have come to hold several festivals each as more and more cultural tourists have made the city a perennial destination.

Hannover has endless variety

Hannover event tickets can cover a dizzying array of activities. The city has come to host more than its fair share of international theatre festivals, among them the very popular Long Night of the Theatres. It’s also the site for Germany's most notable cabaret festival, directly translated as the "Little Festival in the Great Garden". If you're a fan of this type of musical theatre, you're heading for a place where it has reached its apex. For an annual Dragon Boat race, head over to Maschsee Lake, where you'll also be able to find plenty of yacht regattas and polo tournaments. The sporting pride of the city, however, is Hannover 96, the local Bundesliga football heroes. Tickets to their games are available throughout the season on StubHub.

Hannover's proud rock legacy

Hannover also offers plenty more modern-day entertainment, and has always been a city where you can immerse yourself in traditional theatre of an afternoon, before watching international superstars of Ed Sheeran's ilk by night. Large venues like Messegelände Hannover and Musikzentrum Hannover are your best bets for contemporary pop and rock. This is, after all, the home town of The Scorpions, so locals are intensely proud of their rock tradition. Two other musical forms are specialities in this city: choir eisteddfods and violin competitions. We have all the Hannover event tickets you need for these unique attractions too.

What you'll find in nearby German cities

Hannover also gives you easy access to the events in German cities that won't take you too long to reach from there. If you want even more music, head to Münster, where you'll find a really good programme at Domplatz Münster, simply by checking StubHub. Football fans should venture a bit further afield into Dortmund to visit the German Football Museum, which is absolutely irresistible. From there you may as well continue to Essen, where you'll discover some interesting architectural attractions, like the historic Old Synagogue.
