Flying kites with a view of the city
On Sunday, November 1, 2026, the landfill hill will be transformed into a colorful kite paradise with a spectacular panoramic view of Greifswald.
At the Greifswald Kite Festival, a colorful program awaits visitors of all ages from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.: In addition to a bounce house and face painting, there will be a kite-making station where kites are built “the old-fashioned way.” A scavenger hunt for various age groups will take participants across the entire landfill site.
Parachutists from Barth in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern will be participating for the first time. If the wind and weather cooperate, members of the Fallschirmsport Mecklenburg e.V. club will jump from an altitude of 3,000 meters around noon and land on the event grounds.
Refreshments will, of course, be provided, and admission is free as always.
The best way to get there is by bike or the free shuttle bus from the ZOB. Those who still wish to come by car can park for free in the HanseYachts AG parking lot.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our partners: WVG, ml&s, HAB, Volksbank Vorpommern eG, and Cheplapharm Arzneimittel GmbH. HanseYachts AG, Stadtwerke Greifswald, MVL, Peter-Warschow Sammelstiftung, WGG, and the University and Hanseatic City of Greifswald.
