Carnival on the Baltic Sea
The Kühlungsborn Summer Spectacle is the summer version of carnival, organized by the Kühlungsborn Carnival Club (FKK) e.V. The club has succeeded in bringing a tradition that has no ancient roots in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to the Baltic Sea – and making it one of the region's largest summer festivals.
The Grand Samba Parade
The highlight of each year is the samba parade on Saturday afternoon. Dance groups, carnival clubs, and musicians from all over Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Germany march in colorful costumes from the Hotel Waldkrone via Balticplatz, Ostseeallee, and Strandstraße to Herrenbadsteig. A children's parade precedes it.
Program
Friday is for the opening, Saturday is the big parade and party day, and Sunday concludes with a matinee at the harbor. Beach parties on the event beach with live music (from 7:30 PM) and fireworks are an integral part of the program.
Local Context
Kühlungsborn is located in the district of Rostock and, with over three kilometers of beach promenade, is Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's largest Baltic seaside resort. The Summer Spectacle extends the peak season in July and is considered a tourist flagship of the town.
