3000Grad Festival

About

Since its inception, the 3000Grad Festival has evolved into one of the most distinctive open-air festivals in northern Germany. Unlike major mainstream festivals, it consciously positions itself as a temporary Gesamtkunstwerk: music, visual arts, theatre, performance, acrobatics, and workshops merge over three days into a permeable, community-supported atmosphere.

Stages and Sound

The festival is spread across nine individually designed stages, including the striking Schatzinsel and Utopia stages. The musical spectrum ranges from warm, melodic sets and driving club nights to intimate daytime concerts. A focus is placed on electronic music, indie, folk, world music, and singer/songwriter concerts – as well as experimental live formats at the intersection of sound and performance.

Steg in Flammen (Jetty on Fire) at Amtswerder

Directly on the water on the Amtswerder peninsula, the special event Steg in Flammen takes place – relaxed sounds and singer/songwriters on a floating stage in the lake. It is both one of the region's most iconic images and one of Mecklenburg's most beautiful open-air locations.

Atmosphere and Concept

During the day, people learn, build, laugh, and swim – at night, they dance under stars, lights, and bass. The festival is consistently inclusive, with workshops and encounter programs complementing the stage performances. Theatre, performance, film, and performance art run as accompanying programs throughout the festival. It is supported by the non-profit association 3000Grad Musik & Kultur e. V..

Regional Context

The Feldberg Lake District in southern Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is a nature park, a state-recognized Kneipp spa, and one of the quietest lake regions in northern Germany. It is precisely this tension – deep nature and avant-garde festival aesthetics – that makes 3000Grad a unique event of its kind in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the Mecklenburg Lake District.
