Vegesacker Matjestag Introduces Innovative Idea
Get Ready for Two Weeks of Herring Heaven in Vegesack!
It's time to dive into a flavorful adventure in Vegesack, Germany, as the Vegesacker Matjeswochen kicks off on June 21st. This two-week celebration honors the beloved local pickled herring, Matjes, and offers a blend of food, culture, and fun for all ages.
Guided by Vegesack Marketing e.V., the traditional Matjestag concept has been given a modern twist this year, joining forces with Vegesacker Junge and other stakeholders to attract foodies and culture enthusiasts to the beautiful Bremer Norden region.
Kicking off with a Splash at the Utkiek
The party starts with the Matjestag itself. Head to the Utkiek and the harbor to immerse yourself in maritime traditions with a spectacular show program. The star of the day? The grand arrival of the very first Matjes barrel of the season, escorted by the Vegebuddle barkasse and a convoy of Kutterpuller. The festivities continue with Matjes sales by local vendors, live music, and film screenings featuring historical harbor scenes, courtesy of the Museum Schloss Schönebeck and MTV Nautilus.

Expect creative Matjes dishes at numerous caterers, ranging from Matjes burgers and sherry Matjes-filled bread rolls to delightful Matjes 'n' Chips.
