Swing Breeze & Oldtimer Meeting Ribnitz-Damgarten

Swing on the Bodden

Swing Breeze is Ribnitz-Damgarten's annual summer tribute to the music and fashion of the pre- and post-war years. Right in Ribnitz harbour, at the transition between the town centre and the Saaler Bodden, lovers of swing, jazz, and historic mobility gather for a weekend of live bands, dance classes, and vintage atmosphere.

Two Days, Two Moods

Saturday is concert day: gramophone DJ sets, big band performances, and live dance classes fill the harbour. On Sunday, classic cars dominate the scene – saloons, convertibles, and motorcycles are presented before setting off on the traditional tour. A big band provides the musical accompaniment.

Between Harbour and Bodden

Ribnitz-Damgarten belongs to the Vorpommern-Rügen district and is located directly on the western shore of the Saaler Bodden. Ribnitz harbour, with its view of the water, offers the ideal backdrop for a festival that captures the elegance of past decades. Swing Breeze is organised by the town itself – admission is free.
