Maschsee Lake Festival 2023

Music and Entertainment Programmes

Even during the day, the mood by the Maschsee Lake is fantastic. But as darkness falls, and the colourful lights of the booths and stages are reflected in the water, things really take off. A spectacular programme of music and entertainment is presented on a number of stages along the shores of the lake, turning the promenade into an atmospheric open air arena.

Gigantic Party

For three weeks every summer, a ginormous party takes place on the promenades around the shores of the Maschsee Lake. Every year since 1986, the people of Hannover have been joined by guests from far away for a gigantic party. With some two million visitors, the Maschsee Lake Festival is one of northern Germany’s biggest open air partys. Right on the banks of the lake, a number of stages offer programmes for every age and every taste.
