Edition 2025 — DAFF Heidelberg

The DAFF 2025 once again brought eleven days of Volksfest atmosphere to the former US Airfield Heidelberg. The Ferris wheel, US food stalls, several themed evenings, US car meets on Sundays, and the obligatory fireworks for the opening and closing confirmed DAFF as one of the most popular Volksfeste in the Rhein-Neckar region.

The 2025 edition stuck to the proven format. US classics rolled onto the airfield, live bands played every evening, the Ferris wheel attracted families and couples, and the two fireworks displays began and ended the festival. Heidelberg Marketing once again reported visitor numbers in the high six figures.

Programme

Eleven festival days with a Ferris wheel and rides, live bands, two US car meets, a family day, a cosplay day, themed evenings, and two fireworks displays — free admission.

Prices

Free admission. Parking €3 per day.
