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!

Over 19 days, visitors have the opportunity to take a culinary and artistic trip around the world.\r\nTypical 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.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

The Maschseefest takes place around the Maschsee. You have many options for getting there.\r\n\r\nWe advise against travelling by car directly to the Maschsee due to the critical parking situation. The best place to park is at the spacious Sch\u00fctzenplatz car park (Bruchmeisterallee 1A, 30169 Hannover) near the Maschsee. Use of the car park costs \u20ac5 per day.\r\nPlease note that the car park cannot be reached via the Arthur-Menge-Ufer due to a bridge closure.\r\n\r\nThere are parking facilities for bicycles around the Maschsee. There will also be a central car park for e-scooters in the area of the western Planckstra\u00dfe.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>
