Like many other German cities, Kiel has its own wonderful beer festival. Its name is the Duckstein Festival, it is held between late August and early September. In some ways, the event is a “warm-up” before the most important beer festival in Germany and throughout the world - of course, this is about Oktoberfest. The venue of the event is the area around the lake Bootshafen, which turns into a ground for holding tastings of beer and dishes that are traditionally eaten as snacks. In addition, visitors are entertained by musicians and the international street theater. The event's warm family atmosphere gives a feeling of a real holiday.
Christmas is an important holiday for all Germans, and Kiel is no exception in this regard. And just before the celebration, the Christmas market (Weihnachtsmarkt) opens on Asmus-Bremer-Platz, creating a magical atmosphere of touching the fairy tale. Another fair takes place every first Saturday of the month in Am Posthorn Restaurant. The event is simply called Fischbörse mit Aquarianertreff. As the name implies, here you can buy fish and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere. Apart from that, here you can learn everything about the main product - fish - or share your experience with others.
