Summer Festival Between Haff and Sea

The Haff-Festtage are the traditional town festival of the Ostseebad Rerik and are celebrated annually on the third weekend of July on the Haffplatz. Rerik is situated on a narrow spit of land between the Salzhaff and the open Baltic Sea – a special location that gives the festival its name. The 2026 edition will be the 34th of its kind; the festival dates back to the early 1990s.

A children's program and disco evenings are also included. The grand finale is a fireworks display over the festival grounds. The program is deliberately aimed at all age groups – from families with children to fans of dance music.
