Midsummer Night on Sylt

Torchlight procession and beach party in Hörnum

  • June 20, 2026

  • from 20 pm

  • Start is at the corner of Süderende/ Odde-Wei 

  • Eintritt frei

When a torchlight hike turns into a beach party, it can only be Midsummer Night in Hörnum!

The shortest night of the year turns into a truly cool adventure in Hörnum! It kicks off with a torchlit procession that winds around the southern tip of the island—almost like a mini nighttime safari, only with more of a firefly vibe. Passing the lighthouse, the procession ends with a campfire right on the beach, complete with chilled drinks and delicious snacks, accompanied by chilled music, in a very special atmosphere.

Torch sales begin at 20:00 PM at the corner of Süderende and Odde-Wei, before the fire department lights them on the beach! Around 20:30 PM, we'll start the Odde hike together, and everyone is welcome – no registration is necessary, just a good mood and a desire for an unforgettable Midsummer Night.

 

  • After the hike, there will be a late-night SVG bus from the harbor back to Westerland at 00:30 and 01:30.
