Maschsee Festival: Program for August 3

What's going on today?

Maschsee Festival

Program & Dining on the North Shore

Maschsee Stage

6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.: Presented by HAZ: "Fish Seeks Bicycle" Party with Soul Control

The “Fisch sucht Fahrrad” party was Hanover’s biggest singles party 30 years ago. People would meet regularly at the Haus der Jugend for games and cold drinks, dancing and making love through the night. Now, former guests, couples, and of course singles can reminisce. That’s because Tobias Tiedtke, the legendary DJ of the “Fisch sucht Fahrrad” parties, will be joining the event. The music and dancing start at 6 p.m. There will also be the legendary number stickers to help you get to know each other even better. And it’s very likely that Chaka Khan’s song “Ain’t Nobody” will be played, too.
