Ships - people - good mood: four days of festival atmosphere in the Old Harbor of the Hanseatic City of Wismar
Enjoy four days of folk festival atmosphere in Wismar's parlor, the Old Port! Admire the hustle and bustle on the traditional ships on board or from the quayside.
Cheer on the participants in the dragon boat race, experience the start of the barrel regatta and marvel at the sailors in the "Opti Panic Race". There's a lot going on on the water!
On land, there will be music and entertainment on three stages. As always, the big stage at the tree house with a view of the Baltic Sea is the center of all the action. Whether it's a classic shanty choir or hot beats from the T-Tower - there's something for everyone to enjoy and celebrate with family and friends.
On Friday, June 12, 2026, things get underway with the barrel parade, the gun salute and the official opening by Mayor Thomas Beyer. And don't forget the fireworks display on Saturday evening (approx. 10.45 pm), which always attracts people to the harbor.
Come and enjoy the harbor festival in the World Heritage City of Wismar!
