Festive weekend

Double fireworks display on Saturday evening
The main day of the event will be Saturday again this year. As a traditional highlight, the synchronised fireworks display will be set off over the Steinhuder Meer off Steinhude and Mardorf at 10 pm on 23 August. The interplay between the colourful sea of lights, rousing music and the countless lovingly illuminated boats creates a magical moment that promises goose bumps.

Programme in Steinhude: music, cabaret, culinary delights
From 22 to 24 August, the town centre and promenade in Steinhude will become a vibrant festival mile. Visitors can look forward to a varied programme with the best live music, well-known DJs and exciting shows on three stages over three days. The event area will also feature spectacular walk acts, a Ferris wheel and exciting entertainment for the whole family. On Saturday, there will also be breathtaking acrobatics, ingenious and funny performances on the cabaret stage.

Programme in Mardorf: family beach and summer feeling
On Saturday, 23 August, the Mardorf beach invites you to enjoy music, summer delicacies and a wide range of family activities from 2 pm. In the evening, the big beach party with live music starts at 6 pm and continues into the fireworks display.
