About Easter in Warnemünde

The highlight is the grand torchlight procession on Easter Saturday, which leads from the Alte Vogtei to the beach, accompanied by the band »Sharks Moove«, followed by the lighting of the Easter bonfire on the beach in front of the Teepott by the Warnemünde Volunteer Fire Brigade. The lighthouse season begins concurrently.

Don't miss the torchlight procession on Easter Saturday — and there's a small entrance fee for climbing the lighthouse.

Easter by the Sea

When the Easter Market opens in Warnemünde, the Baltic Sea resort begins its tourist season. Under the motto »Easter with a Sea View«, the promenade transforms into a small market mile: around 40 stalls line the route from the town center to the lighthouse and along the Old Stream. Regional crafts, local products, and culinary specialties are on offer — all against the backdrop of the beach, harbor, and Baltic Sea.

Family Programme on the Promenade

The Easter Market is explicitly aimed at families. Daily activities for children, a children's carousel, and a trampoline park at the lighthouse ensure variety. Strolling along the promenade combines the market experience with a spring walk by the water.

Torchlight Procession and Easter Bonfire

The highlight is Easter Saturday: in the evening, a grand torchlight procession sets off from the Alte Vogtei, musically accompanied by the band »Sharks Moove«. The procession leads to the beach, where the Warnemünde Volunteer Fire Brigade lights the traditional Easter bonfire in front of the iconic Teepott. Thousands of guests watch the spectacle — a tradition that belongs to Warnemünde as much as the lighthouse itself.

Start of the Lighthouse Season

At the same time, the season begins at the Warnemünde Lighthouse: the landmark reopens to visitors who dare to climb it and enjoy the view over the beach, the bay, and the Baltic Sea. Easter thus marks the start of the season in Warnemünde in several ways.
