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.

Market, Stage, and Fireworks

Over three days, the Haff-Festtage offer a varied program: a market with traders and showmen, entertainment on the festival stage, folk music and Schlager, dance events, and open-air concerts. 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.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Rostock District

Rerik belongs to the Rostock district and is a state-recognized Baltic seaside resort. The Haff-Festtage are the social highlight of the Rerik summer: they bring the village community together with the many guests who come to the Mecklenburg Bay during the high season, combining the maritime character of the place with a classic North German Volksfest (folk festival).
