Greifswald once again invites you to the largest family festival in Vorpommern. For three days, guests can experience a varied program on three stages, in Kinderland, at funfairs and fairgrounds, during open ships and boat trips. Sports enthusiasts can take part in competitions.
The funfair with a large selection of colorful rides stretches across the entire festival site in the historic fishing village of Wieck. In addition to children's carousels and bumper cars, wilder rides are also available. If you want to watch the traditional ships setting sail or the play of colors in the evening from a height of 40 meters, take a ride on the Ferris wheel.
One of the highlights and namesake of the fishing festival is the gaff rig. Lovers of traditional ships can look forward to around 40 museum ships and modern yachts passing through Wiecker Brücke on Saturday from 13:00. Ships and crews will be expertly presented.
The world championship in Ryckhangeln is also particularly popular. Here the participants have to cross the Ryck on a plastic rope. Each competitor can choose their own technique.
After the official opening of the festival, the legendary SEAT Rock and Pop Night with the band TRIPOD starts on the stage at the lido. This is followed by the Ryck in Flames over the pier from 22:30. The famous NDR 1 Radio MV party with Sebastian Hämer will take place on Saturday. DJ Alex Megane will be playing on the Sonnentanz festival stage on Saturday evening.
The traditional Gaffelrigg fishing festival and its guests will receive a special gift in the anniversary year 2025. To mark the town's 775th anniversary, the daily cultural fee of 5 euros will be waived and the popular three-day event will be open to all citizens free of charge.
