About Itzehoer Woche

The Itzehoer Woche is Itzehoe's most important city festival, filling the city center and the Malzmüllerwiesen with life for nine days every year. The format combines a large wine festival with live music on several stages, a huge city flea market, a children's day, a plant market organized by the local beekeepers' association, and a packed program of events in the urban space. The main sponsor is Sparkasse Westholstein. The wine festival alone attracts around 25,000 visitors to the city center — making the Itzehoer Woche one of the most well-attended city festivals on the Schleswig-Holstein west coast.

Itzehoer Woche — three highlights, nine days

The Itzehoer Woche is not a classic weekend city festival, but rather spans nine days and is divided into three clearly recognizable highlights:

  • Wine festival on the opening weekend — three stages, regional and national bands
  • City flea market in the middle of the week — the entire city center becomes a bargain hunter's paradise
  • Children's day & plant market on the closing Sunday — family program on the Malzmüllerwiesen

Wine festival with three stages

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.

City flea market — the city center as a bargain hunter's paradise

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.

Children's day and plant market

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 — district town of Steinburg

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.

Itzehoer Woche — edition 2026

The Itzehoer Woche 2026 runs from May 30 to June 7, 2026, with three major highlights: the wine festival on May 30 with live music on the Sparkassen, Disco, and Youth stages (Timbo & Band, Mense & The Blackbirds, TONADOS, DJ Bassol, among others), the city flea market on June 3 throughout the city center starting at 8 AM, and the Children's Day & Plant Market on June 7 on the Malzmüllerwiesen starting at 10 AM.
