"Rhein in Flames" Bonn - The most important information about fireworks, events and appointments

The event "Rhein in Flames" takes place in Bonn from May 2 to 4, 2025 and promises to illuminate the city with a spectacular fireworks and an impressive drone show. The main evening of the event is May 3, where the highlight of the event- the fireworks and drone show- begins at 11 p.m.

event details

The event that is under the motto "Ludwig travels around the world" starts with an illuminated ship convoy that drives the Rhine when the navigation is broken. About 20 festively decorated ships will illuminate the shores, while various light installations provide additional visual highlights along the Rhine. A varied supporting program with live music will enrich the weekend.

diverse program for the whole family

For families, the focus is on the day of children and family on Sunday, which offers many entertaining activities. The events include hands-on activities, a large craft station and even a bouncy castle. The children can access numerous attractions and culinary offers, while the adults enjoy the musical performances.

journey and traffic information

Visitors should note that Deutsche Bahn has announced a blocking of the left Rhine railway line for May. It is therefore recommended to arrive early. During the event, rail replacement buses will drive to the “Rheinaue main accessible” stop. The journey by car is not recommended because the parking facilities in the area are very limited and there could be road closures.

special viewpoints

A particularly good view of the spectacular fireworks can be enjoyed from the participating ships. Alternatively, Rheinaue offers free access to the events and view of the fireworks. If you are looking for special comfort, you can book grandstands that offer additional services such as drinks and merchandise.
