Two piers are top open in Germany this month, with Timmendorfer Strand Sea Loop Pier to open on September 20 and Haffkrug Pier on September 28.
Both openings have been delayed due to delays to arrival of building materials and storm damage during construction in April.
Opening festivities at Timmendorfer Strand will include live music and a beach party and a fireworks display, while at Haffkrug there will be live music, guided tours, a boat race, a swimming contest and a laser show to attract visitors.
A third new pier in the region, at Scharbeutz, is not due to open until the end of the year, the National Piers Society reports.
