The
Festival

A celebration for all

Experience culture, music and community under the motto ‘Stronger together’

From 14 to 15 June, the banks of the river Trave around the Musik und Kongresshalle (MuK) will be transformed into a vibrant festival area. Expect information, entertainment, lively discussions, music and, above all, the chance to connect what truly belongs together. The Fehmarnbelt region is brimming with energy, creativity and opportunity, and this weekend is your chance to experience it all.

Baltic Beat Stage

The heart of the festival: the floating stage on a pontoon! Here, the future of the Fehmarnbelt region takes centre stage, with thought-provoking panel discussions and distinguished guests from politics and society. In the afternoon, local choirs and singer-songwriters will give you goosebumps, setting the scene for an electrifying evening as the main acts take over and rock the stage.

 

Programme

Baltic Talk

The upper deck of the theatre ship transforms into a stage for inspiring dialogues and discussions. Discover new perspectives and engage with fascinating people!

 

Programme

New Belt Stage

This stage belongs to the rising stars of the Fehmarnbelt region! From poetry slams and vocal ensembles to orchestras, the New Belt Stage shines a spotlight on young talent from Lübeck, northern Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. But it’s not just about music and performance. Young visionaries and changemakers will take the stage, too - through inspiring talks and interactive sessions that tackle the issues shaping their future. From sustainability and innovation to international friendship and cultural exchange, this is where the next generation makes its voice heard.

Programme

Culinary journey through the Fehmarnbelt

Ein Foodtruck von Fangfrisch in Lübeck.

Busy days call for delicious refreshments! At the Fehmarnbelt Days, you can indulge in a wide variety of treats — from sweet waffles to hearty burgers, with plenty of vegan options on offer. And, of course, no festival would be complete without a taste of German-Danish cuisine — expect fish rolls and other Nordic specialities. At the heart of the festival, a large bar right in front of the main stage invites you to take a break, grab a drink, and soak up the atmosphere with the best view of the action.
