Nine days of city festival in Itzehoe — wine festival, city flea market, and children's day in the district town of Steinburg
The Itzehoer Woche is not a classic weekend city festival, but rather spans nine days and is divided into three clearly recognizable highlights:
The Itzehoer wine festival, one of the largest wine festivals in Westholstein, kicks things off. Established regional cover bands and newcomers perform on the Sparkassen stage, the Disco stage is reserved for electronic dance music, and the Youth stage features young acts from hip-hop, rock, and metal in the city center. The wine festival attracts around 25,000 visitors.
During the city flea market, Itzehoe's city center transforms into a treasure hunter's paradise: private individuals sell antiques, collectibles, curiosities, and vintage fashion in the pedestrian zones. Stall registration is handled through the Tourist Information; private stalls cost €25 per 3 meters of space.
The closing Sunday is dedicated to families: on the Malzmüllerwiesen, there are interactive stations, giant trampolines, and a speed tubing course, live performances, and games. In parallel, the beekeepers' association organizes a plant market with bee-friendly plants — nature conservation and city festival go hand in hand.
Itzehoe is the district town of Steinburg in Schleswig-Holstein and, with around 32,000 inhabitants, is one of the largest towns in the Westholstein marshland. Its location on the Stör — a tributary of the Elbe — and its historic city center with the market square, Sankt Laurentii Church, and Theater Itzehoe provide the setting for vibrant city life. The Itzehoer Woche is the absolute summer highlight here and is organized by Stadtmanagement Itzehoe in cooperation with the main sponsor Sparkasse Westholstein and many associations.
The Itzehoer Woche 2026 starts on May 30 with the traditional wine festival and ends on June 7 with the grand Children's Day on the Malzmüllerwiesen. In the days in between, numerous accompanying events will take place — from the city flea market on June 3 to smaller concerts and activities in the city center.
The wine festival in the city center kicks off on May 30, 2026. Starting at 4 PM, bands will play on three stages: the Sparkassen stage with Timbo & Band, Mense & The Blackbirds, and TONADOS, the Disco stage with electronic dance music, and the Youth stage with newcomers from hip-hop, rock, and metal. Sparkassen-Westholstein is the main sponsor.
