About Harbour Festival

Three Days of Maritime Flair

The Kühlungsborn Harbour Festival is one of the summer highlights of the Baltic Sea resort and attracts thousands of visitors to the marina in Kühlungsborn-Ost every year. The festival is organised by the Tourismus, Freizeit & Kultur GmbH Kühlungsborn.

Programme

Maritime market stalls, regional food stands with fish and North German specialities, stages with live music, and a varied children's programme with a carousel and hands-on activities line the harbour edge. Beach parties and festival parades complete the weekend.

Tradition

The Harbour Festival is part of the North German tradition of maritime Volksfeste (folk festivals) celebrated every summer in almost all harbours along the Baltic Sea coast. In Kühlungsborn, it has consistently been designed as a family festival for years – admission is free.
