Opera highlight in the spa park: The pearl fishermen experience live!

On May 3, 2025, Wiesbaden will host a special cultural event: the free open-air mayor. These celebrations take place in the spa park around the concert mussel after the original planning on the warm dam had to be laid due to extensive access to access access. The May Maifest games promise a varied program and offer something for all age groups.

On the first day of the event, Saturday, the program starts at 2:00 p.m. with "Dancing for everyone", led by Ronja Eick and Fanni Schack. This dance event at the open-air stage is only the start of a varied afternoon. At 3:15 p.m. there is a concert by the Munich band Forward Rain Boy, which with her German -language indie pop ensures that the mood increases. At 5:00 p.m., the Cologne band Sparkling will delight the audience with electric post-punk-pop.
