Events today in Passau (Wed., October 28, 2026): What's still happening later?

2) 3:00 pm: “Baby Dragons – Book Fun for Minis” (City Library)

In the afternoon, the family event “Baby Dragons – Book Fun for Minis” starts at the Passau City Library (Schießgrabengasse 2) from 3:00 to 3:45 pm. The short time frame is well-suited for very young children and can be planned without major changes to the day.

What you can expect

• Calm setting: Library atmosphere instead of hustle and bustle – practical if you are looking for a weather-independent destination today.
• Reading aloud & discovering together: Stories and picture books are the focus.
• Low-threshold entry: Ideal if you want to (re)discover the library as a place for children's activities.

If you are coming with child(ren), it makes sense to plan a few extra minutes for cloakroom and arrival, so that the 3:00 pm start time works out relaxed.

3) 8:00 pm: Cabaret Evening (Old Town / Small Stage)

In the evening, a cabaret evening is taking place on a small stage in Passau's Old Town (start: 8:00 pm). Small venues usually offer a dense, immediate atmosphere: short distance to the stage, strong audience proximity, and a clear focus on text, timing, and punchlines.

Who is this event especially suitable for?

• If you enjoy language & satire: Cabaret thrives on observation, exaggeration, and rhythm.
• If you want a “classic cultural evening”: Early dinner, then the show, followed by a stroll through the Old Town.
• If you like it compact: An evening program without changing locations during the show.

Since 8:00 pm is also the start time for the Jazz/Tribute, it is worth making a conscious decision in advance—otherwise you will inevitably miss part of the program.

4) 8:00 pm: Jazz/Tribute “One Hundred Miles” (Bräugasse / Jazz Club)

Also at 8:00 pm, the Jazz/Tribute concert “One Hundred Miles” – A Tribute to Miles Davis begins in a jazz club on Bräugasse. As a tribute, the evening is dedicated to the spirit of an influential jazz musician—with room for interpretation, dynamics, and live moments.

What typically characterizes the Jazz Club + Tribute format

• Closeness to the sound: In clubs, the listening experience is often central—nuances, solos, and interaction are especially present.
• An evening with character: Tribute programs pick up moods and motifs without necessarily copying “one to one.”
• Good Old Town connection: Bräugasse can be easily integrated into an Old Town evening before or after the concert.

If you are specifically looking for live music today and want to focus on attentive listening, this concert is the obvious alternative to the cabaret event.

5) 7:30 pm: Freshers' Session 2026 (Franz-Stockbauer-Weg)

If you are planning more towards student nightlife today, you can go to the Freshers' Session 2026 with Charlize & Bella Bazz in a live club at Franz-Stockbauer-Weg 1 from 7:30 pm. The start before 8 pm makes the evening its own block in terms of timing—with a correspondingly earlier arrival and admission phase.

This is how you can realistically assess the evening

• Community focus: Freshers' formats aim at getting to know each other, celebrating together, and a clear “semester start” vibe.
• More movement, more volume: Club night instead of a seated event—this is a real difference compared to cabaret/jazz.
• Timing advantage: With a start at 7:30 pm, the program begins earlier than cabaret/jazz (8:00 pm)—for some, this fits better with their daily rhythm.

If you want to move on spontaneously later in the evening, Passau offers plenty of options with the Old Town and riverside areas to let the evening end as you feel.

6) How to plan your evening: Choices & Routes

The best strategy for today is not to “do everything,” but to combine consciously. Three questions will help you quickly: Who am I with? (family, friends, alone) — What energy do I have? (quiet listening vs. partying) — How important is a seat/admission to me?

Three sensible “routines” for today

• Family afternoon: 3:00 pm City Library (“Baby Dragons”), then a walk and an early finish—ideal if you want to keep the day calm.
• Cultural evening: Early dinner, then at 8:00 pm either cabaret (Old Town) or jazz/tribute (Bräugasse).
• Campus & club night: 7:30 pm Freshers' Session (Franz-Stockbauer-Weg) as the main program, then move on depending on your mood.

Practical tips for today (without guesswork)

• Check admission times and rules: Especially for club nights, age or ID requirements may be relevant.
• Consider parallel start at 8:00 pm: Cabaret and jazz run at the same time—“just popping in” rarely works in practice without missing parts of the program.
• Allow enough buffer time: Arriving a few minutes early reduces stress, whether at the library, stage, or club.
