Irish Folk Open Air — The Sally Gardens

Irish Folk at the Köhlerhof

The Irish Folk Open Air is a summer concert held at the Forst- und Köhlerhof Wiethagen in the municipality of Rövershagen, in the Rostock district of the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The Köhlerhof, one of the last of its kind preserved in Northern Germany, is located in the middle of the Rostocker Heide and offers an atmospheric setting for an open-air concert.

The Sally Gardens

The band The Sally Gardens is on stage. The group places great emphasis on handmade music and plays traditional Irish folk. Their repertoire ranges from lively dance tunes to quiet ballads — music that particularly shines under the open sky and in the evening atmosphere of the forest grounds.

Open Air in the Summer Twilight

The concert begins in the evening as the sun slowly sets over the Rostocker Heide. A relaxed atmosphere is created on the historic Köhlerhof grounds, where Irish sounds and forest romance merge. The open-air format makes the concert evening a summer experience for folk music lovers and families.

Organized by LandZeit

Behind the Irish Folk Open Air is the leisure and cultural association LandZeit in Rövershagen e.V., which helps shape the cultural life of the community. Advance ticket sales are available at the Bastelstube in Rövershagen and via email from the association. The concert adds an evening of international music in a rural setting to the region's cultural calendar.

Getting There

The Köhlerhof Wiethagen is located between Rövershagen and the Baltic Sea coast in the Rostocker Heide. The best way to get there is by car via Rövershagen; the farmstead is signposted from there.
