“As the first public festival in Wiesbaden this year, the traditional Spring Festival is once again taking place on the grounds of the former Real supermarket on Mainzer Straße,” says Mayor and Head of Economic Affairs Christiane Hinninger. “I would like to thank BRAWO RE Property Management Braunschweig GmbH for providing us with 10,000 square meters of space on the grounds.” 

In total, visitors of all ages can look forward to nearly 50 booths. The wide variety of treats includes hearty, flavorful dishes such as grilled specialties, homemade burgers, and empanadas, as well as vegan options. There will also be crêpes, waffles, ice cream, and chocolate-covered fruit, among other treats. Rides such as bumper cars, the “Polyp,” and the “Freefall Tower”—and, of course, children’s carousels—will provide action-packed experiences. Darts, duck fishing, and game booths round out the colorful fair program. 

The official opening will take place on Friday, April 10, at 2 p.m. 

Hours: 

· Friday, Saturday, and Monday, April 10, 11, and 13, from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m.

· Sunday, April 12, from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m.

· Family Day on Monday, April 13, with special discounted offers. 

Traveling by public transit is recommended. The festival grounds are located about a ten-minute walk from the main train station. The “Welfenstraße” bus stop, located near the festival grounds, is served by lines 3, 6, 33, 34, and 49. ESWE-Verkehr is once again offering the convenient event ticket on all festival days. It costs 5.20 euros for adults (children pay 3 euros) and entitles the holder to a round-trip on public transit throughout the entire 6500 fare zone (Wiesbaden, Mainz, and surrounding areas) on the same day of service. The following parking areas are available in the vicinity: at the Brita Arena (P1–P3), at the Helmut-Schön-Sportpark, and at Salzbachaue/Gartenfeldstraße (parking subject to availability and, where applicable, for a fee).
