Open-air concerts, cabaret, and family theatre in the Darß forest
The Freilichtbühne Prerow is located on the edge of the Darß forest, one of Northern Germany's most unusual natural areas – a forest that borders the Baltic Sea directly, transitioning into the beach without any town in between. The open-air stage is part of the holiday resort Prerow and is operated by the Kur- und Tourismusbetrieb Prerow (Spa and Tourism Association of Prerow). During the peak summer season, there's a programme almost weekly: concerts, cabaret, comedy, family theatre, tribute shows.
The Freilichtbühne focuses on mainstream entertainment in the best sense: well-known names, well-produced tribute shows, comedians with successful national tours, plus highlights from rock and pop. The mix suits the audience – summer holidaymakers with families, day-trippers from Stralsund and Rostock, and spa guests of older generations. The format works best on warm summer evenings; in case of bad weather, events are moved to an alternative venue.
The 2026 season showcases the full spectrum of the Freilichtbühne:
Visitors to the Freilichtbühne Prerow are usually not just there for the evening programme. Prerow is a Baltic Sea resort with a long tradition on the Darß – a peninsula in the Vorpommern-Rügen district, nestled within the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park. Beach, forest, the Seemannskirche (Seamen's Church), the maritime heritage – the town's character is shaped by a calm, sometimes almost melancholic atmosphere. The Freilichtbühne provides a contrasting, loud, and cheerful accent to this image.
In addition to the adult programme, the stage offers a daily children's programme during the summer: Punch and Judy shows, magic shows, interactive concerts, small theatrical productions, often in the late morning or early afternoon. These children's offerings are an important service for the many families holidaying on the Darß. The programme is complemented by events at the Kulturkaten Kiek In, a smaller venue in Prerow.
The 2026 season at the Freilichtbühne Prerow offers a diverse lineup: cabaret (Ulla Meinecke), stand-up comedy (Lisa Feller, Tan Caglar), rock theatre (Faust 'n' Roll based on Goethe), tribute bands (MAFFAY pur, BOUNCE/Bon Jovi), Ostrock (Die Ossis, Die Seilschaft), and Big Band (Pasternack). The season opens with Ulla Meinecke on May 25th and closes with Klangfeder on August 26th.
The venue is the open-air stage on the edge of the Darß forest; concerts usually start at 8:00 PM. In case of bad weather, events will be moved to an alternative venue.
