"August Rooftop Event Held in Frankfurt"
Celebrating Frankfurt's Skyline: The Inaugural "Rooftop Day" Event
Frankfurt, a city renowned for its impressive skyscrapers, will host its first-ever "Rooftop Day" on August 23. The event aims to showcase the urban vitality and skyline that distinguish the city.
Economics Commissioner Stephanie Wüst (FDP) explained that the goal of the event is to make Frankfurt's urban energy and distinctive skyline more tangible to residents and visitors. Twenty hosts—including rooftop bars, hotels, and cultural institutions—have already signed up for the occasion. Among the confirmed locations are Gaia on the roof of the Parkhaus Börse, the Blasky Hotel, the historic Rententurm, and the Mayor's balcony. Additional sites are still being sought.
The "Rooftop Day" concept allows each host to design its own program, with no limitations on creativity. Plans for this inaugural event include poetry slams, live music, and culinary-themed parties. Privately-owned rooftop terraces will not be eligible for participation in the first edition, but this may change in the future. The city aims to hold the "Rooftop Day" every two years.
Event organizers hope to position the "Rooftop Day" as a regular fixture on Frankfurt's event calendar. Thomas Feda, CEO of the Tourism+Congress GmbH, stated that the event aims to draw interest from both Frankfurt residents and visitors, highlighting the city's architectural assets. Many residents may not be aware of the impressive views their city offers from above.

The city boasts around 40 skyscrapers over 100 meters high, with nearly half exceeding the 150-meter definition of a skyscraper.
