The
wide
world

Laid-back cultural festival by the beach from 14–24 August 2025

Wide World? OK, here we go ...

Welcome to the small – and probably most charming – beach culture festival of the summer!

 

We are delighted to be able to celebrate with you the WIDE WORLD Festival in 2024 as well. Carefree and respectful, free and yet considerate – these attitudes go hand in hand. Feel free to drop by and see for yourself how relaxing a festival can be.

Here’s what awaits you at WIDE WORLD in Travemünde

It’s quite possible that a cultural excursion has never felt so relaxed and free as a visit to the WIDE WORLD Festival. Barefoot to the opera? No problem here! A visit to the theatre in beach clothes? Why not! Chill out in the sand over a literary reading? That works! The line-up for the WIDE WORLD Festival is open, tolerant and can’t be pigeon-holed. Very different artists share a stage here. Besides classic, cultural artistic performances, you can also hear electronic sounds ringing out over the beach, snappy horn arrangements, great vocals and DJ loops. There is room for diversity at WIDE WORLD! With us you can have yourself a good time in your own way, relax and enjoy the shows and surround yourself with pleasant, friendly people.

Culinary journey around the world at the Wide World Festival

Seek refreshments at the stylish beach bar and select your summer drink from the extensive range of drinks on offer. A wide variety of food trucks also provide you with cool drinks and tasty street food. Find your new favourite spot on Strandterrassen, in a deckchair or in the pallet lounges.

You’ll never see the world, if you stay at home.
Seems pretty logical
