There's plenty to discover on the water: museum ships, customs and police patrol boats, the eco-sailing ship "Avontuur," and the rescue ship "Sea Eye 1." The SAUGER IV will impressively demonstrate its engines. Ten ships—including the besanewer "Johanna," the pilot transfer ship "Marxen," and a "Börte" boat—offer free harbor tours. New: a SUP regatta with island residents, a pedal boat race between the TU Harburg and Grün-Weiß Harburg, and diving demonstrations by the DLRG (German Lifeboat Association). On Saturday, a grand arrival parade of all the ships will begin at 1 p.m., with music and information.
The music program begins Friday evening with "Kissin' Time – Kiss Tribute" and "Purple – Deep Purple Tribute." Over 30 acts will perform on Saturday and Sunday, including Frollein Motte, Nordward Ho, Lasko, Celtic Cowboys, Appletown Washboard Worms, Makatumbe, Soltoros, Betty Ford Houseband, Jan Schröder, Werner Pfeifer & die Hafenbande, Manja & Maria, Guido Plüschke, Die Tüdelband, Pat Fritz, Babanda, and the Kekso and Tery Kafo Band. The Kulturpalast Hip Hop Academy brings musicians and dancers to the "Ei Stage." There will also be a Poetomat and a poetry performance.
On Saturday evening, the program on the small stages ends at 6 p.m., while the big stage at Kanalplatz continues until midnight. DJs from St. Pauli will be playing at the "Chill Out Rave" at Lotsekai from 7 p.m. to midnight.
Culinary options at the festival range from grilled sausages to crepes, beer stands, a brewery bar, and the "Fast Food From... To." The Harburg Fish Market serves cocktails, coffee, and cakes, and some museum ships also offer homemade baked goods. Numerous clubs offer additional food.
The family program is organized by numerous clubs: HTB (Higher Education Center) with sports and games, the History Workshop with historical games, and Kaliope with crafts, painting, and a campfire. There's a telescopic crane course and a Scout yurt. The Culture Workshop hosts the popular stamp regatta, a book flea market, and a café.
The festival is easily accessible: on foot, by bus and train, or by bike. A large bicycle parking area is located opposite the main entrance.
