Nabada 2025: All information for Ulm's spectacular water parade!

On June 13, 2025 it's that time again: Ulm Swearing Monday will be celebrated with the colorful and lively Nabada. The popular water parade, which every year turns the Danube into a scene of joy and merriment, is expecting up to 8,000 participants this year. Despite partly uncertain weather forecasts, which could bring sunshine in the morning but rain and thunderstorms in the afternoon, the main organizer Michael Schwender is optimistic that the Nabada can take place as planned. In the event of extreme weather, the event will be postponed by one hour and the decision on whether to take place will not be made until shortly before the official start at 4 p.m.

If you are not yet equipped with your own boat, you can stock up at several points of sale in Ulm. At Decathlon you can get swimming rings from 9.99 euros and inflatable boats from 56.95 euros. Shops like Sport Sohn offer further options with an inflatable boat set for 79.99 euros and Müller, which offers a set for just 39.99 euros. Online retailers such as Amazon are also enjoying high demand for the colorful inflatables and floats required for the event.

By the way, there is also a lot on offer for the spectators on the banks: they can cheer on their opponents and can also look forward to a gastronomic offer that is tailored to the celebrations. Advertising on the water is prohibited, so the focus is entirely on cheering for the participants. It would be a shame if the weather spoiled the happy mood, but the ambience of the Swearing Week is simply unique.
