Neubrandenburg – Vier-Tore-Fest 2027
What to expect
Vier-Tore-Fest Neubrandenburg 2027 is expected to take place from 27.08.2027 to 29.08.2027. The dates are based on the official edition 2026, but have not yet been confirmed for 2027. Three days of a town festival between the four historic town gates.
Vier-Tore-Fest Neubrandenburg 2027: expected date
Vier-Tore-Fest 2026 took place from 28 to 30 August. Based on the same last weekend in August, the next edition is expected to run from 27 to 29 August 2027. No separate official date for the new year has been announced yet. The listing is therefore included in the calendar as a planning aid for now. The festival is organised by Veranstaltungszentrum Neubrandenburg GmbH. The new programmes and exact opening times will only be confirmed with the organiser's next announcement.
The town centre as a large festival zone
The festival connects the market square with the historic town centre and its four city gates. Neubrandenburg is therefore often called the City of Four Gates. In the 2026 edition, numerous activities were spread across different locations. The backdrop of Brick Gothic architecture, the town wall and the old gates makes a stroll particularly appealing. There are also places to meet, shop and eat. The map marker at the market square is just a central starting point. Individual event areas may be set up elsewhere in 2027.
Vier-Tore-Fest Neubrandenburg 2027: showmen and market stalls
In previous years, the town festival included shopping and showmen's areas. Visitors could stroll among stalls and activities. Family activities and games were also part of the extensive town-centre programme. However, which rides will actually be there in August 2027 has not yet been announced. So no old carousels or operators are being listed automatically. The featured image is a generic funfair illustration and does not show a confirmed ride. Specific profiles can be added once the new line-up of rides is announced.
Concerts, stages and regional culture
The 2026 festival included more than 120 individual programme items. These included live music, dance, readings, guided tours and creative activities. Various clubs and cultural organisations also contributed to the events. This figure describes the previous edition and is not a fixed programme size for 2027. We therefore do not carry over previous performers' names or exact stage times as current commitments. Later on, check the official programme overview to choose events and performances you would like to see.
Family activities and the historic gates
Families can discover the city in a special way around the gates and historic buildings. The previous festival featured activities for children, creative events and various meeting places. There were also dedicated quiet zones and a bicycle parking area for the first time. It is not yet clear whether these activities will return unchanged in 2027. The concept nevertheless shows that the festival is not just for concertgoers. Visitors who want to get to know the city will also find several options for a day trip.
Admission and opening times not yet confirmed
For 2026, the city and organiser advertised the public festival programme as free. Food, drinks and certain commercial activities could incur charges. The new 2027 admission arrangements have not been confirmed separately. Complete visitor and showman schedules for all three days are also not yet available. The MEC calendar therefore does not include an invented daily schedule. Individual start times from the previous year are not general market opening hours. The programme overview, once published, will provide the information you need to plan your journey.
Getting to the City of Four Gates
Neubrandenburg can be reached by regional trains and other rail connections. From the main station, it is a short walk to the old town and market square. If you are travelling by car, use car parks and parking spaces outside the central festival areas. During the 2026 edition, several roads around Stargarder Straße and Treptower Straße were temporarily closed. It is not yet clear whether similar restrictions will apply in 2027. Travelling on foot, by train or by bicycle is practical, especially on the busiest days.
