TECH.LAND at NRW-Tag 2026: Join Us in Münster
10 stages. 11 themed miles. 500,000 expected visitors.
This August, Münster is throwing a party three days long — and TECH.LAND will be right in the middle of it.
What is NRW-Tag 2026?
From 28 to 30 August 2026, the entire city centre of Münster transforms into one big festival ground. This year's celebration is a special one: North Rhine-Westphalia turns 80, and Münster is hosting the region's biggest birthday party. To make it even bigger, the city's beloved street festival "Münster Mittendrin" merges completely with the state celebration this year — creating one XXL weekend full of life, culture, and connection.
The city centre is divided into 11 themed "miles," each with its own focus — from science and sport to climate innovation, democracy, and diversity. Highlights include the Blaulicht-Meile showcasing emergency services in action, the Klimastadt-Meile spotlighting sustainable innovation, and the Westfalen-Meile celebrating the region's hidden champions and family-run businesses.
Best of all: participation is free for everyone.
