4th Beerster Sommerfest Bad Bederkesa 2026

Summer Festival in Bad Bederkesa

The Beerster Sommerfest is the joint summer event of the town of Geestland and its citizens in the historic spa town of Bad Bederkesa. It is the direct successor to the traditional lake festival (Seefest) that used to take place on Bederkesa Lake. The new format focuses on the town center around Bederkesa Castle and Amtsstraße, creating a compact, easily accessible festival mile.

4th Edition on August 23, 2026

The 2026 event is the 4th edition and will take place on Sunday, August 23, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. A concentrated afternoon of festivities to liven up the town and bring together families, associations, and guests.

Special Anniversary: 130 Years of the Beautification Association

A special highlight in 2026: The Bederkesa Beautification Association (Verschönerungsverein Bederkesa von 1896 e.V.) celebrates its 130th anniversary.

Its anniversary will mark the 2026 festival with a special program.
