****** 37th Maschsee Festival in Hannover begins at the end of July and promises 19 days of maritime open-air flair in the heart of the city
On 31 July Maschsee Festival in Hannover will kick off for the 37th time. For 19 days – until 18 August – the capital city of Lower Saxony will host Germany’s largest lakeside festival on and around the water.
With epicurean highlights spread over an area of around 20,000 square metres, Maschsee Festival has earned a well-deserved reputation as a gourmet’s paradise and nothing will change this year. Visitors can look forward to a culinary trip around the world and enjoy international cuisine ranging from Oriental to Mexican, from Asian to Scandinavian or down-to-earth German fare, served in an exclusive, exotic or traditional setting or as fingerfood to go.
The new Food Village at Geibel, for example, covers an area of around 1400 square metres and, in addition to a wonderful selection of food, will also feature two of Hannover’s leading wine bars, Enrico Leone and Le Sommelier . From Wednesdays to Sundays there will also be entertainment with live music, DJ sets and boozy brunches. The America Unlimited Sunset Beach adds a touch of C alifornian flair with palm trees, deckchairs and c hill-out vibes .
The brilliant blue KONE Pavilion is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a view of the lake: this is the ideal venue for international events and get-togethers, serving a selection of cocktails and fingerfood while guests can watch the comings and goings.
To see a complete list of all the available eateries visit www.maschseefest.de/gastronomie/
Free events for families to join in are available at the children’s meadow on the west bank on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays (except on the opening day). These range from creative and sports activities to a huge bouncy castle for young would-be acrobats.
Programme highlights
This year’s highlights include a gig by German rapper Malik Harris (2 August). Hip-hop band Passepartout will make visitors sit up and listen on 10 August, and Scorpions’ guitarist Rudolf Schenker will appear on the north bank stage (18 August). Throughout the 19 days there will be performances by sea shanty groups , cover bands and Irish folk.
This year will also, of course, include classics and old favourites such as the torchlight swim in the lake in the evening of 3.8., the NKR charity duck race on the lake (17.8.) and QueerWednesday (7.8.).
