Ketzin/Havel – Fischerfest Ketzin 2027

Fischerfest Ketzin 2027 is expected to take place from 20 to 22 August 2027 at the Havelpromenade. The date is supported by a planned visit on 21 August; the town has not yet officially confirmed the new edition or its opening hours.

Fischerfest Ketzin 2027: the next festival date

The town of Ketzin/Havel celebrated its 33 Fischerfest from 14 to 16 August 2026. A hiking club has also already listed 21 August 2027 as the day for an excursion to the new Fischerfest. The three-day event is therefore expected to run from 20 to 22 August 2027. However, the town has not yet published the full dates. This is therefore a reasoned forecast, not an official festival announcement. Daily opening hours have also not yet been confirmed.

Havelpromenade at the heart of the festival

The Havelpromenade in Ketzin traditionally becomes a summer festival area. In previous years, the event site featured a stage, market stalls and a showman's area. There are also paths along the water and views of the Havel. The location makes the event attractive for families too. The map shows the promenade as the event venue. However, the exact layout of individual stalls, rides and barriers can change from year to year.

Fischerfest Ketzin 2027: showmen and carousels

For the 2026 edition, the town explicitly announced a showman's area on all three festival days. Children and adults could ride various carousels there and try typical fairground games. This means Fischerfest offers not only maritime tradition but also genuine funfair entertainment. The specific line-up of rides for 2027 has not yet been published. Therefore, no rides from previous years are listed as the current line-up. The image on this page is a generic funfair image and does not show a confirmed ride.

Fish procession and fish auction

The history of the fishing town is at the heart of Fischerfest. Popular programme highlights included 2026 the traditional fish procession and a fish auction. Fishermen presented their catch and explained their trade. There were also demonstrations relating to fishing on the Havel. The exact times and programme for 2027 are not yet known. We therefore do not list old programme details as new events. The fish procession itself remains an important historical feature of the festival.

Festival procession and Fisher Queen

A festival procession through Ketzin's old town traditionally takes place on Sunday as part of Fischerfest. The Fisher Queen has a special role in it. At previous editions, she was also introduced at the opening ceremony. In this way, the town combines its fair with a local tradition that is still alive today. The new Fisher Queen and the procession arrangements for 2027 will be decided later. So check the town's latest programme if you are planning a visit specifically for this.

Stage programme, admission and opening hours

Fischerfest combines a showman's area with live music, food and drink, and a lively market. For 2026, general admission to the festival site was free; rides and refreshments were charged separately. The organiser gave a late-afternoon market opening time for the first day. However, reliable, complete opening hours for all three days are not available for 2027. The MEC schedule therefore remains empty. Nor are performers from the previous edition confirmed acts for 2027.

Getting to Ketzin/Havel and parking

The town lies west of Berlin and Potsdam and can be reached by several regional bus routes. The Am Markt stop is near the Havelpromenade. However, during Fischerfest 2026, some bus stops were temporarily relocated. The town also closed access to the town centre to general traffic. Parking was available, among other places, near the Europaschule and on Potsdamer Straße. Different rules may apply for 2027, so check the latest travel information.
