Rum Regatta in Flensburg

The Rum Regatta in Flensburg is one of the most beautiful maritime events at the Flensburg Fjord. Once a year, 100 historic sailing ships transform the harbor into an impressive backdrop and create a weekend full of maritime tradition, joy of life, and Caribbean flair.
The focus is on the unique regatta of traditional sailors, where not the first place, but traditionally the second place is celebrated. The legendary prize distribution is just as much a part of it as the special atmosphere that has characterized this event for decades.
On land, a colorful harbor festival invites exploration and enjoyment. Handmade music, street art, rum, and local specialties create a true harbor atmosphere. Along the pier, the lovingly restored ships can be experienced up close, and Flensburg's close connection to seafaring and the historical rum trade can be discovered.
Whether sailing enthusiasts, families, or connoisseurs – the Rum Regatta combines maritime culture, authentic harbor scenery, and North German hospitality into one of the most popular events in Flensburg and is a highlight in the event calendar of the Flensburg Fjord.
