Beach Festival with Dual Structure

The concept of "Sonne, Strand & Sterne" is clearly structured: free daytime program offerings for families, and evening concerts with big names – some free, some ticketed. This division makes the festival unusually versatile and attractive to different target groups. From beach vacationers with children to 90s classic lovers, everyone finds their program item.

Grömitz – Traditional Baltic Sea Resort

Grömitz is one of the oldest and largest Baltic Sea resorts in the district of Ostholstein, with one of the longest promenade stretches in Germany. The Grömitz pier – at 398 meters, one of the longest on the German Baltic Sea coast – forms the maritime landmark. The beach next to the pier provides the natural festival grounds, with an open-air stage directly in front of the Baltic Sea and the pier forecourt as a meeting point.
