Family festival with town run and disco weekend
Crivitz is located in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, about 25 km east of Schwerin. With just under 4,500 inhabitants, the town is manageable – and that's precisely why the annual Crivitz Children's and Town Festival on the central market square feels so intense: On this weekend, the entire city centre fills with people, stage music, and club stands.
The festival weekend begins on Friday evening with a warm-up on the market square. Live bands or DJs create the atmosphere; the relaxed start functions like a collective toast to the main festival day. Saturday then sees the actual town festival, which lasts from morning until late into the evening.
Programmatically, the festival combines several strands: a town run for amateur runners through the city centre, a children's program with games, hands-on activities, and possibly a bouncy castle, a stage program with music and dance on the market square, a club mile with stands from local clubs and institutions, and in the evening, a disco for adults. The mix of sports, family activities, and a dance evening makes the Crivitz Town Festival an inclusive event – everyone from seniors to schoolchildren finds their place.
The 2026 edition opens on Friday evening, May 29, at 7:30 PM with the warm-up on the market square – a relaxed start with music and socializing that kicks off the actual town festival. On Saturday, May 30, 2026, starting at 10:00 AM, the family festival begins with the full program.
The town run starts in the morning; concurrently, the stands of the club mile and the children's program open. Throughout the day, the stage features a succession of live music, dance groups, and show acts. In the evening, an adult disco takes place on the market square. Detailed program and artists will be published before the festival at veranstaltungen.amt-crivitz.de.
