Overview
- The 2026 edition runs April 25 to May 3 with roughly 30 open courtyards and gardens serving guests fruit wine.
- Twenty courtyards sit on a shuttle route that runs about every 20 minutes, with ten more near the main festival mile downtown.
- Key dates include a funfair from April 29 to May 3, a main stage program from May 1 to 3, and a large parade on May 2 at 11 a.m.
- The city rebuilt the event about three years ago to make it calmer and more family-friendly after heavy police callouts and resident complaints.
- Day-trippers can reach Werder from Berlin in about 30 to 40 minutes on the RE1, and entry to courtyards, the fair and stages is free.
