Day Rave Dahme

An Unusual Concept

Day Rave Dahme breaks the mold of classic open-air raves. Instead of a nocturnal festival setting with camping and wristbands, electronic music takes place here during the day — on the beach, in a relaxed atmosphere, with families as the central target group. The Baltic seaside resort of Dahme in the Ostholstein district of Schleswig-Holstein developed the format in 2023 together with the Tourism Service to refresh the community's profile, which is often perceived as a more "traditional" family seaside resort.

Day 1 — Techno Parade and Main Program

The first festival day begins with a Techno Parade that winds through Dahme's main street, bringing the sound into town via float vehicles, sound systems, and dancing guests. This is followed by a concert and DJ program on the event grounds at the north beach until the evening.

Day 2 — Children's Rave and Main Program

The second day is a special feature: it begins with a Children's Rave with DJ sets suitable for children, interactive dance activities, and non-alcoholic cocktails. Families are explicitly invited. In the afternoon and evening, the star DJs of the electronic scene take over the program.

Musical Profile

The lineup includes:

• Techno Classics from the late 90s
• House of all varieties
• Electro and Big Beat
• Current DJ sets by regional and national acts

Free Admission with Ostseecard

The entire festival is accessible free of charge for Ostseecard holders — and overnight guests in the entire Lübecker Bucht automatically receive the Ostseecard. This is a central component of Dahme's tourism strategy: Day Rave as a free added value for holidaymakers, financed by tourist tax and community sponsorship.
