Concerts, variety acts, and culinary specialities: for over 25 years now, the Maschseefest has transformed the large lake in the town centre into a thrilling waterside festival. With around two million visitors, the Maschseefest is now one of the largest Open-Air-Parties in north Germany.
The 19 day long programme all along the water front has something for everyone of all ages and tastes: a wide range of food of all kinds, free concerts, sporting action on the lake, and dance evenings under the stars – creating that wonderful holiday feeling in the middle of the state capital of Niedersachsen. The show is rounded off by an exciting programme of variety and comedy acts. There is also a great deal on offer for small children: from the bouncy castle to face painting, the kid’s meadow boasts a wide range of attractions.
The star of the festival is the Maschsee itself: visitors love to discover its many different facets such as a cruise on the pleasure steamers, relaxing cocktail soirées with a view across the lake, or just strolling along the palmfringed lakeside promenade. The Mediterranean flair all around the Maschsee makes chilling out easy – and makes it difficult to believe that this mega al fresco party is taking place in north Germany!
