City Festival in the Rose City

Uetersen is a town in the Pinneberg district, south of Pinneberg and northwest of Hamburg — the largest town in the Hamburg metropolitan region north of the Elbe. Uetersen is primarily known as the Rose City: the Rosarium and the centuries-old tradition of rose cultivation shape its identity. The CityFest is the annual spring city festival and utilizes this identity framework.
