Dragon boat festival in Strausberg: Fun and excitement in the pool!

From 4 to July 6, 2025, the time has finally come: The dragon boat festival days in Strausberg are just around the corner! This year the event will not take place for the first time in the usual Straussee, but in a specially built 15-meter pool in the Volkshaus. Reason enough for a festive atmosphere and exciting competitions, because the event celebrates its 20th anniversary. According to MOZ.de , visitors can expect a colorful program full of entertainment and culinary delights.

The opening ceremony starts on Friday, July 4, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. with free admission. The highlights on the first day include a car scooter, ferris wheel, bungee trampoline and a children's program. The musical entertainment begins with live acts from 6 p.m., including Schulz & Müller and Rosemary’s Triplets. A diverse culinary offer is available for hungry guests, ranging from bratwurst to pizza to sweet pastries.

The competition program

The Saturday, July 5th, will be exciting: The dragon boat race starts at 10 a.m. with the "Dragon Board Fun Cup". 10 teams have the opportunity to compete against each other every year. The organization recommends that the S-Bahn be sure to get the parking facilities limited. In the afternoon there are dance performances and a children's program for the little visitors.

In the evening it becomes really spectacular: the big laser show is framed by a varied live program. The bands Zebrarot, Wynona & Jakob and Frank Oderland will heat up the audience! If you want to celebrate afterwards, you can visit the disco in the Volkshaus from 8 p.m. - admission is 8 euros, but admission is free for children up to 12 years. As reported Volkshaus-events.de , combined tickets for Friday and Saturday can be purchased at a price of 12 euros.

Sunday morning pint and music enjoyment

The final day, Sunday, July 6th, starts with a morning pint from 11 a.m., accompanied musically by the village musicians from Eggersdorf. Here the festival visitors can look forward to delicious dishes such as knobba jetting, pork leg and sweet crepes - a worthy end to the anniversary festival! Entry is free on this day, which makes Sunday an ideal family outing.
