Maritime family festival in the smallest seaside resort on Usedom Island
The Zempin Fishermen's Festival honors the centuries-old fishing and coastal tradition of Usedom Island. The venue is the Kurplatz (spa square) in Zempin, the smallest of Usedom's seaside resorts. The festival is organized by the Usedomer Bernsteinbäder (Amber Baths); admission is free.
The focus is on freshly caught specialties from the Baltic Sea and the Achterwasser – the calm lagoon waters behind the island. Smoked and fried fish, fish rolls, and other delicacies recall the times when Zempin lived from fishing. A maritime market completes the culinary offerings.
The Fishermen's Festival offers a diverse family program: dance groups from the Zempiner Verein für Groß und Klein e.V. (Zempin Association for Young and Old) perform, live music provides entertainment, and there are attractions and hands-on activities for the youngest visitors. The festival is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Zempin is located between Zinnowitz and Koserow in the narrowest part of Usedom Island, in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district. As the island's smallest seaside resort, Zempin retains a particularly quiet, original character – the Fishermen's Festival reflects this close connection between the town and the sea.
On May 16, 2026, Zempin will celebrate its Fishermen's Festival from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Kurplatz.
Freshly caught specialties from the Baltic Sea and Achterwasser, along with a maritime market, are the focus. Dance groups from the Zempin association for young and old, live music, and attractions for children ensure a varied family program. Admission is free.
