Season Kick-off on the Baltic Sea

The Kühlungsborner Stadtfest is the traditional season opener for the Baltic Sea resort. It begins on May 1st and uses the long weekend to unite the first spring guests, locals, and the town's clubs under one big, very family-friendly umbrella.

Program

The kick-off on May 1st in Lindenpark combines a flea market, beer barrel tapping, the maritime song of the Reriker Heulbojen, and a children's parade. Friday features the stage program at the harbor basin with live music, stilt walkers, and a DJ parade. Saturday is dedicated to the club fair at the school center, followed by live music in the West Concert Garden. The grand finale is the big town picnic in Lindenpark with a church service, a hands-on circus program, and a brass band concert.

Free Admission

The town festival is financed by trade revenues, sponsorship, and municipal funds. Admission is free everywhere, including the club fair and the town picnic.

Local Context

Kühlungsborn is located in the Rostock district and, with over three kilometers of beach promenade, is the largest Baltic Sea resort in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The town festival ushers in the main season, which runs until mid-October.
