Now in its 26th year, this lakeside event—which attracts more than 2 million visitors annually—will transform the shores of Lake Haus in Hanover into a colorful boulevard where visitors can sample a wide variety of foods and enjoy top-notch concerts for free. There is also a lineup of activities for children, a cabaret show, and hundreds of water sports events on the lake. For more information, visit the website at http://www.maschseefest.de.
