When the Museum Park Becomes a Festival Ground
Once a year, the Focke-Museum not only opens its doors but transforms its spacious park into a festival ground for the entire neighbourhood. Fockes Fest traditionally takes place on the first Sunday in September — on September 6, 2026, from 2 PM to 6 PM. With free admission, the Bremen State Museum for Art and Cultural History combines a neighbourhood festival and museum experience for a carefree afternoon in the green.
Stage, Stands, and Museum Tours
A colourful programme of events awaits guests on the stage and in the park. In addition, there are information stands, culinary offerings from cake to bratwurst, and tours of the museum. This allows the festival afternoon to be combined with a look into the museum's collections — cultural history to touch, embedded in a community festival that appeals equally to families, residents, and museum friends.
A Festival for the Neighbourhood
Fockes Fest expressly sees itself as an invitation to all Bremen residents. It is one of those festivals where a museum consciously opens its doors to the neighbourhood — accessible, family-friendly, and free of charge. In this way, the Focke-Museum shapes life in Schwachhausen not only as an exhibition venue but also as a social meeting point.
In the Park of the Focke-Museum in Schwachhausen
The venue is the museum park of the Focke-Museum on Schwachhauser Heerstraße in the Schwachhausen district, one of Bremen's greenest quarters. The park-like setting with the historic Haus Riensberg gives the festival its special, relaxed character.
Fockes Fest — edition 2026
On Sunday, September 6, 2026, the Focke-Museum — Bremen State Museum for Art and Cultural History — invites you to Fockes Fest in its spacious park at Schwachhauser Heerstraße 240, from 2 PM to 6 PM. A colourful programme of events will take place in the park and on the stage; information stands and culinary offerings ranging from cake to bratwurst will be lined up around the stage. At the same time, the museum's exhibitions will open their doors for guided tours, allowing visitors to combine the relaxed festival afternoon with a look into the collections. Admission is free; payment on site is cash only. Dogs are not allowed on the premises (except service dogs).
