Festival of Superlatives

Since 1977, the Bad Zwischenahner Woche has been a firm fixture in the Ammerland summer calendar — and with its five days and nights, it's one of the largest folk and city festivals in the region between Bremen and East Frisia. The venue is the Kurpark and the Promenade around the Zwischenahner Meer.

A family program and children's activities are available during the day at designated spots.

Bad Zwischenahn as a Festival City

The Bad Zwischenahner Woche confirms the spa town's status as the most important festival center in Ammerland. Anyone coming to Bad Zwischenahn during these August days should book accommodation in advance — holiday apartments and hotels are in high demand during the festival week.
