Hessentag 2025 in Bad Vilbel: Festival of the gigantic challenges!

Bad Vilbel, Deutschland - The Hessentag 2025, one of the largest festival events in Hesse, will take place in Bad Vilbel from June 14th to 23rd. The festival will open on Friday at 1 p.m. by Prime Minister Boris Rhein and Mayor Sebastian Wysocki. The motto of the Hessentag is "We bring Hessen to the stage". Over 1,600 events are planned at 46 locations on a spacious festival area that extends from the Dottenfelderhof to the Kurpark. Bad Vilbel is well prepared and awaits a number of visitors of around 750,000 people, significantly more than 519,000 visitors in Fritzlar in the previous year, where the Hessentag previously took place. This is particularly due to the central location in the Rhine-Main area, as n-tv.de

The highlights include large concerts in the "Stadtwerke-Arena", which offers space for around 15,000 people. Well -known artists such as Ski AGGU on June 14th, Howard Carpendale on June 15th, Nina Chuba on June 17th, Judas Priest on June 18, Deichkind on June 20 and Moses Pelham on June 22nd. In addition, further concerts will take place in the Vilco congress hall and in the Wasserburg. A stage for pop concerts and dance is provided on Hessentagenstrasse, flanked by handicraft stands and gastronomy offers. A children's carousel and strollers in a café and grill lounge complete the offer.

logistics and arrival

The journey from Frankfurt is best with regional and S-Bahn. The S6 S-Bahn line is reinforced with additional cars to cope with the rush of visitors. In addition, additional trips are offered on the RB 34 line between Bad Vilbel and Glauburg-Stockheim. Trains that otherwise pass Bad Vilbel will also keep in the city during the festival. Parking is available in two large parking spaces that can hold up to 8,000 cars. A day park ticket costs 10 euros for cars and 30 euros for motorhomes. There are restrictions for cyclists: Frankfurter Straße and the Niddauferweg are closed, and cycling on the festival site is prohibited.

criticism and challenges

Nevertheless, there are also critical voices for the Hessentag 2025. The federal government of taxpayers Hessen has criticized the high costs of the festival and speaks of "pomp and gigantism". This becomes particularly clear in comparison to the previous event in Fritzlar, which for no time did without a Hessentagenarena for cost reasons. A association spokesman expresses concerns about a possible million deficit after the festival. However, David Rauber, Managing Director of the Hessian Association of Cities and Municipalities, emphasizes that both approaches- that of Bad Vilbel and that of Fritzlar- are legitimate, and keeps your fingers crossed for a successful and peaceful festival, especially in view of the current challenges at events in other Hessian cities.

With the planned events, including the "Hesse's Festival of Sports" and the preparations for a wide range of entertainment, the Hessentag 2025 in Bad Vilbel is on a promising course. A variety of offers and activities promise to offer visitors unforgettable experiences. Further details on the events can be found on the official festival website program.hessentag2025.de
