Spring Kick-off on the Saaler Bodden
The Spring Festival at Ribnitz-Damgarten Harbour is the first major Volksfest of the year in the Amber Town. Around May 1st, the Ribnitz Harbour on the Saaler Bodden transforms into a festival ground, heralding the warm season. Over several days, the festival offers a colourful programme for the whole family.
Rides and Activities
Showmen bring rides to the harbour: bumper cars and carousels are just as much a part of it as game stalls, such as the popular duck fishing. Catering stands ensure culinary well-being. The festival's motto is to dance into May together – a classic North German spring kick-off by the water.
Dance into May and Stage Programme
The highlight is the 'Dance into May' on the evening of April 30th with a DJ and live music. On the following days, a stage programme accompanies the festival: brass bands, Schlager parties, and other live acts perform, complemented by shows for children. The Spring Festival thus combines Volksfest atmosphere with music and family entertainment.
