A Harbor Festival with Club History

Anyone looking for a relaxed summer day by the water in the southern Berlin surrounding area will find the Hafenfest of the Wassersportclub Wildau to be the right place. Since its premiere on June 22, 2002, the festival has become a fixture in the event calendar of the town of Wildau and the Dahme-Spreewald district. The WCW opens its gates once a year — traditionally on a Saturday in June — on the Uferpromenade at Dahme 4, turning the club's location into a public meeting point.

Date and Schedule 2026

The 2026 edition will take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 9 am to 6 pm. The day begins with breakfast for club members and guests, followed by the public program. On the water, model boat sportsmen will showcase their intricate custom-built models, and short boat trips on the Dahme will offer a unique perspective of the club facilities. On the lawn, the club's volleyball team will compete against a selection from the town of Wildau — a friendly classic.

Made for Families

For children, there will be a bouncy castle, face painting, a treasure hunt, and small participatory activities. In previous years, the police boat also visited and was open for tours. Food will be provided with smoked fish fresh from the oven, grilled bratwurst, cake from the club kitchen, and drinks at fair prices.

Location on the Dahme Riverbank

The club's location is in an idyllic landscape directly on the Dahme, just a few kilometers south of the Berlin city limits. The S-Bahn line S46 (terminus Wildau) brings you from the capital, and from there it's about a 15-minute walk. By bike, the route along the Spree and Dahme cycle paths is recommended. Admission to the Hafenfest is free.

Brandenburg Summer Culture by the Water

The Hafenfest is representative of a Brandenburg festival culture that gets by without grand staging: water sports, community, regional food, and a stage program organized by the club itself. Those looking for an authentic picture of the region beyond the tourist postcard motifs will find it here — at the Hafenfest on the Dahme riverbank in Wildau (Dahme-Spreewald district, state of Brandenburg).
