Rhine with ships and fireworks, in the background the funfair in Düsseldorf at night

Picturesquely situated on the banks of the Rhine in Oberkassel, a funfair town is created every year as if from nowhere. The highlight of the biggest funfair on the Rhine: the big fireworks display.

Come see for yourself, live and in person, how the spectacular fair fireworks bathe Düsseldorf’s city skyline in a new light and how the sound of the fireworks echoes through the night. By the way, the best view is from the water. So come aboard with us. Until then, our event ships will cruise between the Old Town, the Media Harbor, and the Oberkasseler Ufer, and our crew on the MS RheinDiamond will treat you to an all-inclusive spread featuring a buffet, wine, beer, and soft drinks. Or set sail with us on the MS RheinPoesie for a relaxing evening cruise. Once darkness finally falls over North Rhine-Westphalia’s state capital, the pyrotechnicians will showcase their full range of skills.
