33rd Zinnowitz Pier Festival

Maritime Festival at the Vineta Pier

The Pier Festival is one of the most traditional folk festivals (Volksfeste) in the Baltic Sea resort of Zinnowitz on the island of Usedom. In 2026, it will celebrate its 33rd edition, bringing together guests and locals around the striking Vineta Pier, which extends 315 meters far into the Baltic Sea. The concert shell on the promenade serves as the central stage for the three-day festival.

Program for Young and Old

Live music, dancing, and a varied show program characterize the weekend. Bands and DJs create the atmosphere, while younger visitors can expect their own entertainment. Market stalls and gastronomic offerings along the promenade invite visitors to linger. The special location directly by the sea gives the festival its unmistakable maritime flair.

Autumn Kick-off in the Seaside Resort

In mid-September, the Pier Festival marks the atmospheric transition from summer to autumn. It is a fixed date in the event calendar of the Vorpommern-Greifswald district and attracts numerous visitors to the Zinnowitz beach promenade every year.

The Vineta Pier

The pier in Zinnowitz is one of the most famous on the island of Usedom and ends with a diving gondola, offering insights into the underwater world of the Baltic Sea. It is a landmark of the town and gives the festival its name.
