Brückenfest Criewen am Schleusenkanal

Folk Festival in the Middle of the Lower Oder Valley National Park

Criewen is a district of the town of Schwedt/Oder in the northern Uckermark — and is located in the middle of Germany's only floodplain national park, the Lower Oder Valley National Park. The Schleusenkanal (lock canal) between the Oder river and the old Criewen lock is one of the most impressive waterways in the region.

August 1, 2026 — Meeting by the Canal

On Saturday, August 1, 2026, from 4 PM to 10 PM, the Criewen local council invites you to the Brückenfest on the Schleusenkanal. It's a typical village festival: tables and benches right by the water, a small stage area, stands for drinks and food.

What to Expect

• Live music and DJ sets in the evening
• Regional gastronomy — grilled food, homemade cakes, local beer
• Children's program in the late afternoon
• Meeting point for neighbours, clubs, and guests from Schwedt

Natural Scenery

The Schleusenkanal is located directly at the entrance to the Lower Oder Valley National Park. If you arrive early, you can combine the day with a hike or bike tour through the Oder floodplains — the National Park House is just a short walk away.

Organiser

The organiser is the Criewen Local Council in cooperation with the local heritage association and clubs from the Schwedt urban area.
