Culture and Events

Avant-garde and Old Masters, tradition and the pleasure of experimentation, natural history and folklore – the variety of the museum landscape is so diverse. And in the area of theatre, you will find great productions, but you will also find variety performances, puppet theatre, classics, comedies and improvisation.

The Breminale is well-known even outside the region, the Freimarkt - the local funfair carnival - is celebrated in Bremen as a fifth season, and gourmet festivals regularly tickle the taste buds of their visitors. The Christmas market in the Weser-city is considered one of the most beautiful in Germany. These and many other markets and festivals can be found in the Bremen calendar every year.

Make the most of your city trip to Bremen, and combine it with a particular cultural highlight. Breathtaking presentations, spectacular productions and fantastic shows will immerse you in the world of theatre, variety and musical performance. World-famous ensembles will enchant your ears, as will the musicians on the stages of many open-air festivals.

From the Bundesliga-winning Werder Bremen team to the renowned six-day races, or from the marathon to the folding bike race - we will show you where competitive strengths are pitted, top table positions targeted or sweat is dripped.
