Bremen Throws Germany’s Birthday Party

Bremen’s historic market square, town hall, and cathedral

October 3 marks Germany’s reunification in 1990. This year, Bremen hosts the national celebration, with festivities running October 2–4.

The city center becomes a gathering place for music, food, and presentations from all 16 federal states. A dedicated food mile offers tastes from Bremen, across Germany, and beyond; the Bremen Mile stretches from fish sandwiches to rocket technology. That’s a fairly ambitious range for a weekend stroll.
