About Lichtenhagen Neighbourhood Festival

Once a year, Lichtenhäger Brink transforms into a colourful promenade: at the Lichtenhagen Neighbourhood Festival, the northwest of Rostock celebrates neighbourhood and community. Organised by RGS Rostock and the Lichtenhagen District Management, the festival brings together clubs, institutions, and residents. A stage with a programme, numerous hands-on, movement, and creative activities, as well as stands from local initiatives characterise the day. Admission is free, and the family programme is aimed at all generations. A festival that shows how vibrant the district is – against the cliché of a sleepy prefabricated housing estate.

Celebrating Neighbourhood in Lichtenhagen

The Lichtenhagen Neighbourhood Festival is the communal highlight in the annual calendar of Rostock's district. The venue is Lichtenhäger Brink, the central square of the district, which transforms into a colourful promenade on this day. The festival is an invitation to all residents to celebrate together and experience the district from its vibrant side.

Supported by Clubs and Initiatives

The neighbourhood festival is organised by RGS Rostock and the Lichtenhagen District Management. However, the festival thrives on the participation of many: clubs, social institutions, schools, kindergartens, and local initiatives are represented with stands and activities. Thus, the festival becomes a reflection of district life.

Programme for All Generations

A stage provides a varied programme, complemented by numerous movement, creative, health, and information activities. Families will find a wide range of hands-on activities – from face painting to small competitions. Admission is free, making the festival open to everyone.

A District Shows Itself

Lichtenhagen is a district with large housing estates in the northwest of Rostock. The neighbourhood festival presents a different image to the sometimes one-sided external perception: a committed neighbourhood, active club life, and a district that sticks together. This is precisely the message the festival carries into the district every year.
