Overview
In 2025, the Zissel once again attracted hundreds of thousands to the Kassel Fulda riverbanks. The water ski show, dragon boat cup, land and water parades, Karlswiese funfair, and Orangerie wine village once again formed the backbone of the four festival days.
The 2025 edition also served as the dress rehearsal for the 2026 anniversary. It followed the traditional format with the Zisselhäring hoisting on Friday, the Dragon Boat Cup and water ski show on Saturday, the land and water parades on Sunday, and the festival winding down on Monday.
Programme
Four days of programming with a reception for dignitaries, Dragon Boat Cup, water ski show, land and water parades, dance shows, fireworks, and continuous programming at Karlswiese and the Orangerie wine village.
