Cultural spectacle in Schwerin: From choir singing to clothing swaps!

On the last weekend in June, from June 27th to 29th, 2025, Schwerin will be the venue for a colorful variety of cultural and musical events. The anticipation for this event is great and offers something for every taste. Whether concerts, culinary delights or creative exchange opportunities, community is very important here.

We will start on Friday, June 27, 2025, with the eagerly awaited “Night of the Choirs” from 5 p.m. in the impressive Schwerin Cathedral. Here, a total of 20 choirs from the region join in a varied program of gospel, jazz and vocal ensembles. A special highlight is the singing together at 8.40 p.m., which is sure to give you goosebumps, followed by a final performance by the Schwerin vocal ensemble at 11.30 p.m. At the same time, the premiere of the operetta “The Merry Widow” will take place in the theater tent on Franzenweg at 7 p.m., which takes the audience into the story of a wealthy widow and her marriage candidates.

Cultural highlights outdoors

Not far away, at the picturesque Pfaffenteich, the “CU-Open Air” invites you to a musical evening where local bands will perform. One of the highlights is the punk rock band “Debil”, which will create a great atmosphere on the south bank the following Saturday. The weekend already has some treasures in store with these events right from the start.

Saturday, June 28th, will also be colorfully filled. A guided ADFC tour starts at 9.30 a.m. and takes cycling enthusiasts through the idyllic Lewitz and Griese area. From 11 a.m. there will be a great opportunity to refresh your wardrobe at the clothes swap market in the Klöresgang - under the motto “Swap instead of buy”. Organized in cooperation with the Circulation Heroes, this day not only promises sustainability, but also a lot of fun.

The musical delights continue in the afternoon at the Paulskirchenfest, which begins at 2 p.m. at the Am Packhof 8 community center. Until the shared snack at 6 p.m., there will be celebrations, music and lots of opportunities for exchange. At 3 p.m., the film and discussion afternoon on building culture in “Der Speicher” invites you to discuss the preservation and further development of the historic cityscape. Saturday is rounded off by the musical highlights in the evening, including the open-air show by Alex Christensen & Friends at 6:30 p.m.

A crowning conclusion

Sunday, June 29th, there will be a Sunday flea market in the Schleswig-Holstein House from 2 p.m. Lovers of art, fashion and accessories will get their money's worth here. The proceeds from this event will benefit the Schwerin women's shelter, which shows that social commitment is also part of this weekend.

The city of Schwerin appeals to visitors to observe traffic regulations as parking space in the city center is very limited. Public transport is recommended as a recommended alternative to make your journey stress-free. In addition, the municipal event management ensures that all requirements and security concepts are communicated to the organizers in advance writes the city administration.

Whether music, culture or community interaction – the last weekend in June in Schwerin promises to be an experience that will last for a long time. This wealth of events shows that togetherness is very important in Schwerin and everyone is welcome to become part of this lively community.
