Every year in May, Hamburg is turned upside down for three days when the Hanseatic city celebrates the Port Anniversary. Every year, around 1.5 million well-wishers experience the world’s largest harbour festival on the 3.5-kilometre-long harbour mile between HafenCity and the Museum Harbour. In addition to the grand entry parade, highlights include the traditional tugboat ballet and the grand fireworks display on Saturday evening. The annually changing partner cities or countries are very popular with the many visitors. The cruise ships arriving during the festival are also among the guests’ favourites.
The Festspielfrühling Rügen is the spring festival of the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and invites you to musical discoveries and personal concerts with exquisite artists over ten days in March. Prizewinners of the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern take over the artistic direction of the Festspielfrühling Rügen and create tailor-made programmes for the island together with musician friends and companions.
