Hamburg Port Anniversary

The 836th Port Anniversary in 2025 took place from May 9 to 11. The traditional program elements – arrival parade, tugboat ballet, "Elbe in Concert", ship tours, and departure parade – attracted around one million visitors along the harbour front.

Open-air concerts on several stages complemented the maritime program. The grand fireworks display on Saturday evening was once again visible across large parts of the city centre and remained the highlight of the festival weekend. With the 2025 Port Anniversary, Hamburg reaffirmed its status as a global port.
