Wukensee Festival in Biesenthal: dragon boat races and fireworks await you!

The Wukensee Festival in Biesenthal opened its doors on Friday, July 11, 2025 and traditionally started with the student cup in the dragon boat race. The event attracts numerous visitors year after year and offers a colorful program for the whole family. On Friday morning, the festival was ceremoniously opened by Mayor Carsten Bruch and district director André Nedlin, followed by exciting competitions between students from the Biesenthal, Grüntal, Marienwerder elementary schools and the Biesenthal Nature School.

The students had the opportunity to compete in two heats and subsequent finals, and the awards ceremony took place around midday. Here the winners were chosen and received appropriate recognition for their efforts. On Saturday, the highlight of the festival, the official opening will begin at 9:00 a.m. Mayor Bruch will also extend a warm welcome here.
