Fontänenfest

About Fontänenfest

With the Fontänenfest on Glambecker See, Stadtwerke Neustrelitz is reviving an old tradition: switching on the lake fountain as a festive start to summer. In 2026, this occasion marks the 35th anniversary of Stadtwerke. Instead of a classic fireworks display, the festival features a modern laser and drone show that sets the sky above the lake in motion. Accompanied by a stage program, music, and catering, Glambecker See becomes a festival backdrop for an evening – and the fountain serves as a reminder that the warm season has begun in the residential city.

A Tradition Returns

The Fontänenfest on Glambecker See is a city festival in Neustrelitz, the baroque residential city in the Mecklenburg Lake District (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). It marks the switching on of the lake fountain – an image many residents remember from earlier years. Stadtwerke Neustrelitz is reviving this tradition and simultaneously celebrating its 35th anniversary.

Lasers and Drones Instead of Fireworks

Instead of a classic fireworks display, the organizers are opting for a modern production: a laser and drone show with a light choreography around the fountain and over Glambecker See. In its first iteration, the laser show featured, among other things, the Strelitzia, the city's heraldic flower. The combination of water features and light technology offers an environmentally friendly alternative to fireworks and a spectacle reflected in the lake.

Festival Evening by the Water

The Fontänenfest is designed as an evening event. It opens with the entry of a fanfare band, followed by a stage program with a dance group and DJ, as well as catering and drinks. The highlight and conclusion is the laser and drone show after dark, when the fountain in Glambecker See also goes into operation.

Kick-off to Summer

Glambecker See, with its bathing area, is a popular local recreation spot for Neustrelitz residents. The Fontänenfest provides a festive accent at the beginning of the warm season and fits into the diverse range of events offered by the residential city.
