Midsummer in East Frisia

The summer solstice holds special significance in northern latitudes. The long days and short nights around June 21st provide the perfect setting for open-air events that celebrate light and summer mood. The Mittsommerfest Villa Popken uses this atmosphere for a relaxed summer evening with music and barbecue enjoyment.

Program

The focus is on live music and a barbecue with regional specialties and side dishes. The park of Villa Popken provides the backdrop — fairy lights and cozy seating arrangements make the evening a relaxed summer event. The format is compact: five hours of programming where concerts, socialising, and gastronomy interlock.

Villa Popken as a Summer Venue

Villa Popken is an established event location in the Samtgemeinde Hesel — from the medieval market in August to the Mittsommerfest in June, it uses its natural setting for various open-air formats. The combination of a historic estate and a summer park is its charm.

Embedded in the Summer Offerings

The Mittsommerfest is part of the summer program of the Samtgemeinde Hesel, which combines several open-air formats with the Sommerfest Gut Stikelkamp, the Pixxen Festival, and the medieval market. Those seeking the atmosphere of the East Frisian summer will find a suitable occasion here.
