zeichenflache 1 scaled

From September 25 to 28, 2025 the folk scene will meet at the Goldbekhaus in Hamburg-Winterhude. Four days full of music, dance and encounters await you – with almost 30 program items: Concerts, balfolk, workshops, jam sessions, exhibitions and lectures.

Particularly exciting: You can become active yourself! In the north folk orchestra you play together with other musicians, rehearse for two days and perform at the festival. There will also be an open mattress camp, food stands on site and plenty of space for exchange.

The festival is part of the DeutschFolk initiative – and brings together new ideas, regional traditions and the energy of young musicians.

👉 We will be there and are already looking forward to talks, sessions and encounters with you.
