Unfortunately, the Festive Weekend had to be cancelled again in 2023. Usually, it transforms the lake for three days into a maritime fairground.

The festivities were canelled for 2023. Radio and TV station NDR is normally the host of the NDR "Landpartie"-Festival, which introduces different regions in northern Germany. In the past 20 years, more than 3000 farms, businesses, artists and northern "originals" were visited by the TV host Heike Götz on her bicycle.

In the mid 18th century Steinhude's fishermen formed a group to improve the economic situation. Annually they held an assembly to settle disputes, deliberate and execute a limited criminal law. This tradition is commemorated every year by celebrating Fischerkreidag.

Unfortunately, this event is cancelled in 2021. The next Craft Market will take place on Ascension Day in 2022 in Mardorf. More than 100 craftsmen offer hand-made unique pieces. Between 11.00 am and 05.00 pm you can take a stroll or buy something special there. The entrance is free.

For many years, more than 2000 fans of the Mallorca-Party find their way to this party epicenter. Stars and starlets get together and guarantee an unforgettable evening for everyone.

Regional products, new creations and a lot of fun for the entire family. When already early in the morning the Aloys-Bunge-Platz is turning into a bustling square, the farmers market is taking place: in July and August every Wednesday between 09.00 am and 1.00 pm.  

The open air cinema on the north shore of the lake promises a cozy evening on a picnic blanket, air matress or a comfortable chair and an entertaining movie. You are invited by the Stadtwerke Neustadt, the City of Neustadt and the Steinhuder Meer Tourismus GmbH.

The flea markets around the lake are becoming increasingly popular. With a lot of luck you can find true bargains between books, CDs, graphic novels, computer parts, antique tableware and second hand clothing. Every now and then treasures from great-grandmother's times are offered, such as embroidered tablecloths, jewelry, glass, porcelain and old furniture from days long gone.
