The International Maifest games Wiesbaden, which will be opened on May 1, 2025 under the patronage of Prime Minister Rhein, are an important cultural event that symbolizes the beginning of spring and emphasizes the city of Wiesbaden as an important cultural metropolis. This traditional event, which has been taking place in Wiesbaden since 1950, shows the diversity of the Hessian cultural scene and contributes significantly to the reputation of the federal state as an opera and theater location. According to hessen.de this is a "cultural pearl" and a highlight of the country, which is not only important for art lovers, but also appeals to the general public.

This year, the organizers expect an extensive program with around 50 productions from the fields of opera, dance and acting. The Hessian State Theater in Wiesbaden will offer the main stage for this festive series from April 30 to May 29, 2025, which is expected to attract around 26,000 visitors.
