Frequently asked questions

The Maschseefest is the largest public festival in Lower Saxony in the centre of the city on the Maschsee. Holiday feeling in the city centre, maritime flair in the middle of the city! The Maschseefest gives holidays an international stage. Over 19 days, visitors have the opportunity to take a culinary and artistic trip around the world. Typical local gastronomy concepts, musical highlights in the open air, sporting activities on the Maschsee and a wide range of attractions for children and families create a holiday atmosphere.
The 38th Maschseefest will take place from 30 July to 17 August 2025. The Maschseefest runs for a total of 19 days.
A citizens' hotline will be set up again for questions relating to the Maschseefest 2024. The contact person is Mr Henze. The telephone number is: 0172 / 142 89 42 or by e-mail maschseefest2025@web.de
The consumption of cannabis is prohibited on the festival site!
This year, for the first time, there will be a "Mindfulness Guide" for the Maschsee Festival to ensure respectful interaction and to prevent any form of boundary crossing. The measures for this guide include the use of the Saferspaces app and a reinforced PSNV team (psychosocial emergency care) from the Johanniter. The app can be used by scanning the QR code on one of the Saferspaces posters on the lanterns around the Maschsee and in the sanitary facilities. It is not necessary to install the app in advance. The location of the person concerned is also automatically transmitted. If you do not have a smartphone, you can also call the Johanniter hotline number (0800 0192140) on the poster. In principle, communication with people seeking help is covered by the app, the hotline and direct contact on site by the PSNV helpers from St John Ambulance. Retreat and shelter areas are also made available by St John Ambulance in the form of containers and a VW bus for mobile use on longer journeys. In general, however, the catering trade, operators and security can also be contacted and asked for help. The exact operating times of the medical service, the associated on-call service and further information on the topic of "mindfulness" at the Maschsee Festival can be found under 'Service' on the website.
