Midsummer celebration at Villa Popken with live music and barbecue
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.
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 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.
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.
The 2026 edition uses the long summer evening for a classic midsummer format. In the grounds of Villa Popken, fairy lights and seating areas create atmosphere, and a stage provides musical accompaniment. The exact lineup will be communicated by the organizer in advance.
The exact program for 2026 will be published by the organizer in early summer. The structure follows the proven key points of previous years:
