Season Kick-off in the Rose Garden
When the first chords ring out in the Rosengarten on Ascension Day, the open-air season officially begins on Wangerooge. The Friesenwoodstock has become a tradition, uniting local island residents with day guests who come over for the holiday.
Rock, Folk, and Longing
The musical spectrum ranges from handmade rock to folk and Frisian sounds. Local bands and acts from the East Frisian region perform throughout the day, offering a varied program until the early evening.
Flea Market in the Rose Garden
Alongside the music program, a flea market is set up in the Rosengarten. Here, collectors, bargain hunters, and lovers of curiosities can find all sorts of bric-a-brac, handicrafts, and island souvenirs.
Children's Program
For the younger island guests, there is a diverse children's program with games, hands-on activities, and crafting opportunities. This makes the Friesenwoodstock a true family festival.
Rose Garden as an Island Stage
The Rosengarten Wangerooge is a special green space on the island with rose beds, paths, and a peaceful atmosphere. As a festival venue, it offers ample space for a stage, stalls, and picnic areas.
