The Grömitz Harbour Festival opens its doors to the public on Thursday 16 July from 5 pm. On Friday and Saturday, the festival welcomes visitors to the marina from 11 am to 10.30 pm each day. As well as the food on offer, there will be different bands performing every day.

Big sing-along concert

Thursday evening’s musical opener will focus on communal singing. From 7.00 pm, Sören Schröder, the initiator of the “Deine Stadt singt” series of events, will lead the participatory event at the fairground. The audience will be actively involved and, under his guidance, will form a large choir. To make it easier for all guests to sing along, the lyrics to well-known classics and current hits will be displayed on a big screen.

Grömitz Harbour Festival: A varied programme of music

Friday kicks off in the afternoon at 2.30 pm with the band ‘Acoustic Bricks’, who will be performing rock and pop songs at the marina. From 6.00 pm, a DJ will provide the music on the site, before the North German party band “Cosmopauli” takes to the stage at 7.30 pm.

Open Ship event organised by the Sea Rescue Service

Saturday brings one final highlight to round off the event. Between 11.00 and 17.00, the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS) is hosting an ‘Open Ship’ event on the rescue vessel ‘Felix Sand”. The crew will be offering an insight into the day-to-day life and duties of these lifesavers – who are funded entirely by donations – on the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The afternoon will be accompanied by music from the acoustic duo “Klaroscuro” from 3.00 pm. The festivities will conclude at 7.30 pm with a performance by the German-language pop-rock band “Jeden Tag Silverster”. You can find the official programme here.

Weit entfernt von den Küsten im Rhein-Main-Gebiet aufgewachsen, fand David Ingelfinger erst im Alter von elf Jahren auf den niederländischen Gewässern zum Segelsport. Was als Familienurlaub ohne großartige Vorkenntnisse begann, mündete in einer steilen Lernkurve, aus der die dauerhafte Leidenschaft fürs Segeln entsprang. Seine praktischen Erfahrungen festigte er über die Jahre mit dem Erwerb des SKS und zahlreichen Meilen als Skipper auf Charteryachten im Ijsselmeer, der Nordsee sowie im Mittelmeer. Nach seinem Studium der Publizistik schlägt er nun die Brücke zwischen dem journalistischen Handwerk und der Praxis auf dem Wasser und bringt seine Begeisterung für den Sport als Volontär in die Redaktion der YACHT ein.
