Schweinfurt in festival fever: Folk festival starts with new attractions!

The folk festival in Schweinfurt is just around the corner! From June 20th to 29th, 2025, the Volksfestplatz will be transformed into a colorful festival mile for young and old. Swity reports on exciting new attractions and traditional rides that will delight all visitors.

A highlight of this year is the PREDATOR high-altitude ride with 10 four-person gondolas, which is sure to send a shiver down the spines of adrenaline junkies. The brave can also look forward to the freefall tower SKYFALL, which rises an impressive 80 meters into the air and offers space for 24 guests. The spinning coaster CRAZY MINE promises a fast-paced experience with 430 meters of track length and a height difference of 17 meters.

Attractions for the whole family

Of course, there is also plenty of fun for the little ones. With the CHILDREN'S DREAM LOOP, the MAGIC LOCK and many other offers such as STAR RALLEY and PIRATEN JUMPING, children can experience unforgettable moments. There are also tried and tested classics such as FLIP FLY and the RIESENWHEEL, which are a must at every festival.

There is also a lot on offer in terms of cuisine. In addition to regional dishes in the festival tent run by the Papert family, festival visitors can enjoy new delicacies such as pasta made from a parmesan wheel or taco burgers. A large stein of beer costs 11.80 euros, which is the usual price at festivals in the region.

Safety comes first

The safety of visitors is the top priority. Goldeneye Security Service emphasizes how important it is to deploy professional security forces for such major events. This includes not only detecting conflicts, but also ensuring a safe environment through regular cooperation with the police and emergency services. At the festival, bag checks will be carried out at the entrances and a security concept will be ensured.

Another offer is the SAFE SPACE, a protected space where girls and women can receive help and support. Given the challenges that public events pose, special attention is paid to security.

The opening of the Schweinfurt Folk Festival will take place on June 20, 2025 at 5:30 p.m. by Mayor Sebastian Remelé and will be celebrated with a large fireworks display at 10:30 p.m. The program is supplemented by numerous events, including a comedy breakfast, the ladies night and the folk festival service, which forms the festive conclusion.
