Breminale
The mothership of Bremen's summer festivals and cultural scene is back again in 2025! It is THE event on the Osterdeich, which overwhelms thousands of people with its charm and vibe between Schlachte and Weserstadion. A Ferris wheel right on the water, a sunset in your sunglasses, a drink in your hand & live music to your ears. See you in July. 🎡
TurnUp BRMN
Excuse me, WTF?! Where did the TurnUp suddenly come from? After the big names of the German hip hop scene have regularly avoided Bremen, they are now coming to the Bürgerweide in droves. A festival that is almost too nice to be true. Either it's going to be uber-crass or Fyre 2.0? 🙄
Sziget Festival 2025
Not in Bremen, not even nearby, but still nice! The Sziget Festival in Budapest has been impressing audiences for years with its amazing line-ups, great locations and unforgettable experiences. Here you get international acts & are whisked away into a surreal parallel world of music. + By the way, we're lotteries tickets 😏 Good luck!

2 days, over 50 acts and 8000 + dream dancers who want to have a unique time with you. Laughing, dancing, dreaming, singing - summer can be so beautiful. The Hill of Dreams is once again not in Bremen, but close enough to be easily accessible. Ps: Of course you can also win tickets 😎
Das 15. Überseefestival
The Bremen classic. A whole host of talents from Bremen and the surrounding area show you their skills and music on 3 stages. What lasts 17 years can only be good & so this year, August will once again be bid farewell with 100% Bremen. Enjoy the last rays of sunshine, the last romantic sunsets to the sound of real music & dance in melancholy towards the end of summer. 🎸
Playa Beach Latin Festival Open Air
If Bremen is always too gray & too Nordic for you, this is the best solution for the summer. Of course you can also dance, listen to tropical beats & dip your feet in the beach - but the real highlight of the Playa Beach Latin Festival is its delicious comida. Snack your way through Latin America & enjoy yourself and your life. 🌮
10. HEVIE - Hemelinger Vielfalt Stadtteilfest
The Hemelingen variety is not to be missed in 2025. Even though summer is gradually drawing to a close, HEVIE proves that it can still be wonderful in September. It goes from flea market & fun tournament to evening open air and family day. An event that shows how beautiful Hemelingen is. 🌴
Maritime Woche
Experience has shown that during the maritime week the odd breeze blows again & a little jacket needs to be put on. Now it's official, summer is over. This festival along the Weser concludes a glorious festival summer in Bremen 2025 & impresses with its own unmistakable offer. 🛥
