Hagenow – Hagenower Altstadtfest 2027
What to expect
Hagenower Altstadtfest 2027 takes place from Friday, 25 June, to Sunday, 27 June 2027. The date and daily festival opening times have already been published in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern tourism calendar.
Hagenower Altstadtfest 2027: officially announced dates
The official Mecklenburg-Vorpommern tourism calendar already lists Hagenower Altstadtfest from 25 to 27 June 2027. This confirms the dates for the coming year. The published overview also includes visiting times for all three festival days. On Friday, the festival starts in the afternoon; on Saturday, it opens in the morning. Sunday's activities end earlier than the evening events on the previous day. However, the detailed stage programme and participating showmen will be announced separately.
Lindenplatz and Lange Straße as the festival route
Hagenower Altstadtfest traditionally takes place in the town centre. From Rathausplatz along Lange Straße to Lindenplatz, visitors will find market stalls, stages and showmen's attractions. Lindenplatz is a prominent meeting point. Food stalls and town-centre shops invite you to browse between the event venues. The map shows Lindenplatz as a landmark, not every individual stall location. Check the updated event plan before your visit for the exact layout in 2027.
Hagenower Altstadtfest 2027: rides and fairground attractions
The festival's well-known format includes a range of showmen's attractions for children, teenagers and adults. Larger round rides could also be found in the town centre at previous editions. This sets the Altstadtfest apart from a purely music and street festival. However, the exact line-up of rides for 2027 has not yet been published. We therefore do not list older rides as confirmed solely because they took part in previous years. The feature image is a custom funfair-themed illustration, not a recent photo from Hagenow.
Bathtub race at Mühlenteich
The traditional bathtub race is a particularly unusual highlight of Hagenower Altstadtfest. Participants compete in imaginatively designed floating contraptions. At the 2025 edition, many visitors watched the colourful action on the water. A Neptune baptism was also part of the well-known programme. It is not yet clear whether the individual competitions will take place in the same format in 2027, or when they will start. We have therefore not added old times as new programme items. The organiser's announcements will provide the later participation details.
Two stages, concerts and dancing
The tourism calendar announces the town festival with a varied stage programme and various showmen. In previous years, music and entertainment took place across two stages. In the evenings, visitors could enjoy live music and meet at food stalls. The individual bands and performances for 2027 have not yet been announced. We therefore do not present a previous line-up of artists as a new programme confirmation. If you are planning to travel for a particular concert, the later daily schedule will be important.
Fireworks, admission and opening times
Previous editions included a high-altitude fireworks display on Friday evening. The tourism calendar also lists this as a typical highlight of the festival. However, no time has yet been announced for the 2027 display. In previous years, general admission to the festival was free, while rides and refreshments cost extra. The following visiting times have been published for 2027: Friday from 15 until 2 at night, Saturday from 11 until 2 at night and Sunday from 11 to 20. These times are listed separately in the MEC schedule.
Getting to Hagenow town centre
Hagenow is in West Mecklenburg and can be reached by regional trains. Routes lead into the centre from Hagenow Stadt station; further connections are available from Hagenow Land station. Regional buses also serve the town. During Altstadtfest, sections of Lange Straße and the area around Lindenplatz may be closed to traffic. So you should not count on finding a parking space right by the festival route. Travelling by train, bus or bicycle can often make your visit easier to plan.
