Stadtfest Neukalen

A Civic Festival for the Peenestadt

Neukalen is nicknamed Peenestadt because the Peene river flows through it — a quiet, idyllic small town in the Mecklenburg Lake District, near Lake Kummerow. The Stadtfest is the most important social event of the year for the town's approximately 1,800 inhabitants: a weekend where the town celebrates together and shows its most vibrant side.

Program on the Festival Grounds Am Gartsbruch

The venue is the festival grounds Am Gartsbruch. Here, the stage program and music provide entertainment, from live bands and DJ sets to performances by local groups. Clubs and associations from the town present themselves with stands and interactive activities, while culinary offerings range from grilled food and cakes to drinks stands. There are also play and fun activities for children.

Community and Club Life

The Stadtfest thrives on the commitment of Neukalen's clubs. They contribute to the program, run stands, and help make the weekend a success. This makes the festival more than just entertainment — it is a showcase of the community life of the Peenestadt and an occasion where generations and neighbors meet.

Festival Culture in the Mecklenburg Lake District

Civic festivals are a firm pillar of village and small-town life in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. In Neukalen, the Stadtfest is part of an event calendar that offers further highlights throughout the year — from dragon boat races at the harbor to evening light parades. But the Stadtfest remains the festival that brings the entire town together.
