Summer Festival on Germany's Largest Lake
The Rechliner Müritzfest is the traditional Volksfest (public festival) of the municipality of Rechlin and is celebrated annually in July. The festival grounds on Fritz-Reuter-Straße are located near the southern shore of the Müritz – with around 117 square kilometers, it is the largest lake located entirely within Germany and gives its name to the Mecklenburg Lake District region. The festival has a long history; the 2026 edition will be the 43rd of its kind.
Parade with a Changing Motto
The centerpiece is the parade, which moves through Rechlin every year under a new, often humorous motto. Clubs, groups, and residents design colorful floats and walking groups and march in a flamboyant, cheerful procession through the town. The parade is the heart of the festival and an occasion for many Rechliners to get creatively involved.
Music, Dancing, and Fireworks
A varied program is spread over the three festival days: live bands and DJs create the atmosphere, show dancing and line dancing are on the program, a tombola tempts with prizes, and showmen bring rides to the festival grounds. The traditional grand finale is a fireworks display over the festival area. Friday starts in the afternoon, Saturday and Sunday already in the morning.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Mecklenburg Lake District
Rechlin is located in the Mecklenburg Lake District district and is a popular water sports and holiday destination. The Müritzfest combines the village community with the numerous guests who come to the Müritz in the summer – a successful example of a North German Volksfest with regional identity.
