Fish Party at the 'Schaufenster Fischereihafen'

Enjoyment, Music, and Maritime Flair

When Bremerhaven's fishing harbour becomes a stage in April, everything revolves around fish. The Fischparty at the 'Schaufenster Fischereihafen' combines culinary delights, live music, and maritime flair into a festival deeply rooted in the city's history. Along the gourmet mile at the fish quay, stalls offering oysters, matjes, crab dishes, and traditional fish rolls line up.

From 'Day of the Fish' to a Major Event

It all began in 1987 as 'Tag des Fisches'. Over the years, this small event has grown into a major occasion that draws tens of thousands from all over Northern Germany to the fishing harbour. The Fischparty is thus one of the most traditional events celebrating Bremerhaven's maritime heritage.

A Programme to Amaze and Engage

The centrepiece is the 'Fischbett', where you can marvel at the diversity of different species while experts explain them. The 'Fischkochstudio' hosts multiple cooking shows daily, complemented by lectures on sustainable fishing, species diversity, and fish processing. The museum ship Gera is open for visits, and live music and interactive activities round off the programme.

Hanseatic Fishing Heritage

Bremerhaven has always been a fishing town. The 'Schaufenster Fischereihafen', with its historic halls and restaurants, brings this heritage to life. Once a year, the Fischparty brings this tradition especially close to visitors, celebrating what has shaped Bremerhaven for generations.
