On Friday evening, a stage show on the market square laid the foundation for the festival. The radio station Ostseewelle provided music and entertainment to ensure that the first 1,500 guests were able to get in the mood for the two-day celebration. The highlight of the evening was the concert by the popular pop band Marquess, which further fueled the anticipation for the coming days. Weather forecasts point to bright sunshine, so visitors can look forward to an ideal festival weekend.
