Family Festival Against a Historic Warehouse Backdrop
Speicher XI is one of Bremen's most impressive industrial monuments – a long brick warehouse that is now the heart of the Überseestadt in the Walle district. It is here that the Maritime Family Day invites you once a year to a large, free festival for young and old. You'll experience the maritime history of the quarter up close while immersing yourself in a varied family programme.
Stage Shows, Pirates, and a Knowledge Kiosk
The programme includes stage shows with theatre, music, and magic, hands-on activities, and pirate fun where children can earn their pirate license. The knowledge kiosk of Bremen's Science Centre Übersee-Museum brings maritime phenomena to life. Bouncy castles, face painting, and play areas round off the offerings for the little ones, while food stalls cater to culinary needs.
Maritime Flair in the Überseestadt
The Überseestadt has grown from the old Bremen harbour area into one of the most vibrant new city districts. During the Family Day, the connection between harbour history and urban life is palpable – with views of water and warehouses in the heart of the Hanseatic city. The festival is organised by the Überseestadt Marketing Association together with WFB Wirtschaftsfoerderung Bremen.
Free and Family-Friendly
Admission is free. The compact festival grounds around Speicher XI are easily explored on foot and are quickly accessible by public transport from the city centre – ideal for a relaxed family day by the water.
