Warnemünde week 2025: Sailing and cultural highlight by the sea!

In the Warnemünde Baltic Sea resort, it gets lively again! The 87th Warnemünder Week will take place this year from July 5th to 13th, 2025 and promises a varied program of culture, tradition and sport. Nordkurier reports that everything revolves around the combination of highly class sailing and an appealing cultural offer.

The event is ceremoniously opened by Mayor Eva-Maria Kröger and Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig. A special highlight will be the traditional niege gang, in which between 2500 and 3000 participants are expected. The move starts at 10 a.m. on the lighthouse forecourt and finds its degree in the Kurhausgarten, where the official opening is connected.

What can visitors still look forward to? The event offers the opportunity to experience international regattas, including the OK European Championship and the ILCA European Cup, which make Warnemünde one of the best sailing areas in Europe. Sports director Peter Ramcke is optimistic that a strong field of participants revives the waters. A discourse on the discontinuation of the 2036 Olympic sailing competitions in Rostock-Warnemünde also shows that the region is sporty at the pulse of time.

But that's not all: On July 10, the open-air music festival "Rauch on the water" will take place in the Kurhausgarten. There will also be Glashäger beach concerts, where, among other things, the bands Lappalie, Les Bummms Boys, Hinterland Gang and Tocotronic will entertain visitors. The open-air cinema, which shows a selection of popular films from July 10th to 12th, should not be missing.

readings are an integral part of the Warnemünde Week. Monchi will be a guest on the opening day with his podcast "Because it's burning every day", followed by a reading by the author Jessica Benjatschek on July 6th. On July 9th, Gottfried Haufe reads from his book "The World of Fish Bun", musically framed by the shanty choir "Möwe and the Oil Haps".

The Warnemünde Week also has its traditions: In addition to the Niegen, guests will be able to look forward to the dragon boat festival on July 13th. In addition, sporting activities on the beach such as beach handball, beach lacrosse and beach rugby attract numerous participants. A review of the success year 2026 is also planned if the event can celebrate its 100th anniversary. Ostsee describes the extensive supporting program that attracts both locals and tourists.

With a potential cruise ship as an Olympic village on the middle mole, Warnemünde has great ambitions for the future. Until then, visitors can look forward to nine days full of maritime flairs, cultural events and sporting challenges. So if you don't do anything yet, you should quickly make your way to Warnemünde! There is a lot to discover and experience.
