Strandkorbsilvester Göhren

New Year's Eve by the Sea, Not in the City

While other places move their New Year's Eve parties into enclosed halls, Göhren opts for the opposite: the Strandkorbsilvester brings the turn of the year to the Baltic Sea, to the Bernsteinpromenade, and under the vast sky over Mönchgut. Three days of programming, every day from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, turn the last days of the year into a small festival.

Program Over Three Days

• December 29th: Opening, market with regional products, cozy mulled wine party with live music in the evening
• December 30th: maritime sounds and children's program during the day, mulled wine party again in the evening
• December 31st: Family day until the afternoon, then a big New Year's Eve party with a live band, midnight fireworks over the pier

What Makes Strandkorbsilvester Special

Strandkörbe – those typically East Frisian/Baltic Sea seating furniture – are the visual leitmotif: they stand along the promenade, serve as sheltered seating against the wind, and give the festival its name. Add to this the wide view of the 280-meter-long pier, from the end of which the fireworks are launched. The reflection of the lights in the water, the wind mixing salt and sparks – memories that bring many regular guests back to Rügen year after year.

Organizer and Region

The Strandkorbsilvester is organized by the Kurverwaltung Ostseebad Göhren (Poststraße 9). In the Vorpommern-Rügen district, the event is one of the most attractive New Year's Eve destinations away from the big cities and fits Mönchgut's character as a biosphere reserve: more cozy than loud, with a clear connection to tradition and nature.
