Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Wismar

The Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 2025 celebrated their 35th anniversary – the festival is as old as the state itself. A total of 136 concerts filled the summer at venues across the state.

In the Hanseatic city of Wismar, the open-air concert by the Jazzrausch Bigband on July 12, 2025, at the Old Harbour was a special program highlight. Under the motto 'Bangers Only!', the Munich-based big band brought danceable rhythms inspired by the techno club scene to the waterfront; the opening act was the big band of the Nordwestmecklenburg District Music School 'Carl Orff'.
