Neptune Festival in the Saalfeld outdoor pool: Game, fun and underwater adventure!

Saalfeld, Deutschland - On June 27, 2025, the traditional Neptun festival will be celebrated in the Saalfeld outdoor pool, and the anticipation could not be greater. Organized by Saalfelder Bäder GmbH, the festival will take place from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and offers a colorful program for children and families.

The Neptune Festival is a fun baptism that takes up children and adolescents in the realm of Neptune, the God of the sea. This tradition has its roots, especially in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is often celebrated on swimming lakes or beaches, with the outdoor pool in Saalfeld now offering a new highlight. With a colorful spectrum of activities from sports and game offers to competitions such as a bet over 65 meters, an ass bomb contest and an underwater treasure search, the participants can expect an unforgettable day.

baptism and competitions

The competitions are an absolute highlight of the festival. The children can show their skills when paddling, water betting and duck fishing. A special attraction is the baptismal ceremony with Neptune, which will reward the children with a personal baptismal certificate. It is typical of the Neptuneproof that the baptisms, similar to the equator baptism from seafaring, are confronted with an unsightly drink and are then "thrown" into the water. So the festival promises both fun and a little thrill for the youngest.

Regular admission prices apply to access to the outdoor pool, which makes the event affordable for many families. The festival is not only a celebration of the water, but also promotes the community spirit and invites you to spend time together and create memories.

other events in the region

In addition to the Neptune Festival, there are other exciting events on the agenda in Saalfeld and the surrounding area. On June 26th and 27th, Katharina König-Preuss will be traveling with a citizens' bus to seek exchange with the citizens.
