What's happening at Easter 2026? - Events in Bremen

The Easter bunny is gradually painting the first eggs, spring is in full swing & you're looking for the best Easter events in Bremen ? A match made in heaven. 🐰
Easter is relatively early this year 🥰
Well, if that's not reason enough to get a good overview of the best events and happenings in Bremen over Easter 😏.

Bremen has a lot to offer at Easter 2026 & we show you the best Easter highlights! Then all you have to do is look for eggs. 🥚
An absolute highlight is the Easter meadow on Bremen's Bürgerweide. This folk festival attracts over a million visitors every year and offers everything your heart desires with over 200 showmen: from fast-paced rides and delicious food stalls to traditional stalls. Here you can feast on candy floss, roasted almonds and bratwurst while you climb to dizzying heights or enjoy nostalgic carousel rides. 🎢

Of course, traditional Easter customs are also a must. Easter bonfires are held in many districts of Bremen 🔥 to chase away winter and welcome spring. These convivial evenings by the fire are perfect for meeting up with friends, roasting bread on sticks and enjoying the first balmy evenings of the year.

And for those who prefer something a little more sporty: how about a bike tour along the Weser? The fresh spring air, the chirping of the birds and the blossoming nature make a cycle tour a special experience. Along the way, numerous cafés and beer gardens invite you to take a break for coffee and cake. 🚲

So, grab your loved ones, pack your sunglasses and get ready for an unforgettable Easter weekend in Bremen. Because there's guaranteed to be something for everyone here - and not just for the egg hunt! 🐰🌷

Maundy Thursday in Bremen

The day that kicks off the long weekend. Tomorrow is free, so you have every reason to go out. Welcome the Easter weekend in Bremen with a party, or take a more relaxed approach with a visit to the theater. Whatever you decide: Have fun!

Ps.: Did you know that the term "Maundy Thursday" has nothing to do with the color? Rather, "green" is a remnant of the old language. Here, "grunen" or "greinen" meant something like "to weep". So Maundy Thursday is actually for weepers. (I would cry too if I had given up chocolate since Christmas)
