Fischerfest Gaffelrigg 2027: fishing festival on the Greifswald Bodden

Fischerfest Gaffelrigg takes place in the historic fishing village of Wieck, where the Ryck meets the sea. With views of the harbour, traditional ships and lifting bridge, a maritime festival area with several stages and showmen’s stalls takes shape. The organiser, Großmarkt Rostock, lists around 160 participants and approximately 50.000 expected visitors for 2027. This makes the Fischerfest one of the larger maritime summer events in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The full programme runs over three days, not just during the Gaffelrigg itself.

The name Gaffelrigg refers to the traditional outing of historic sailing ships on the Greifswald Bodden. According to the published event schedule, the ships are due to set off on Saturday, 17 July 2027, from 13. Several dozen historic fishing boats and traditional ships are expected. However, the final participant list is still being put together. You can watch the event from the shore while enjoying the Fischerfest in Wieck. That is why the Gaffelrigg is listed as part of Saturday’s programme, not as a second, competing event.

Fischerfest Gaffelrigg 2027: rides and market

Even a maritime fishing festival has classic funfair entertainment: rides, games stalls and a wide range of food stalls add to the harbour atmosphere. The organiser is specifically looking for stallholders for the promenade along the waterfront. The names of the showmen and rides for 2027 have not yet been published. Therefore, no specific attraction details are linked to this event. Families in particular will be able to see which children’s rides are actually there once the full list is available.

Ryck in Flammen and stage programme

A major highlight is the multimedia spectacle “Ryck in Flammen”, which the organiser has announced for Friday evening, 16 July. The Fischerfest programme also includes several stages with music, sports activities such as Ryckhangeln, dragon boat activities and a varied entertainment programme. The organiser also mentions fireworks as part of the overall concept. No specific start time for “Ryck in Flammen” has been published yet, so none is being invented. The Gaffelrigg on Saturday, by contrast, has already been announced to start from 13.

Admission and daily opening times

The Fischerfest was free to attend in public areas in 2026. The same arrangement is expected for 2027, while individual rides and food cost extra. The organiser has already published the daily opening times for the festival area for the year in question. On Friday and Saturday in particular, the programme continues past midnight. The times listed in the calendar apply to the festival area, not to every ship movement, stage performance or ride.

Getting to Greifswald-Wieck

The historic fishing village of Wieck lies east of Greifswald city centre. As access roads to the harbour may be restricted during the Fischerfest, the city recommends travelling by bike or bus. Special parking and traffic rules apply at the harbour. So you should check the latest information before your visit. All official information is provided by the organiser Großmarkt Rostock. More funfairs and harbour festivals are listed in the funfair calendar.
