Four Days of Festivities on the Rhine

The Rheinuferfest utilizes one of Ludwigshafen's most attractive urban locations: the Platz der Deutschen Einheit directly on the Rhine promenade, with views of Mannheim and the Rhein-Galerie. The open space provides room for several stages, a gourmet mile, a children's mile, and generous relaxation areas.

Thursday: Rhineland-Palatinate State Philharmonic

Thursday's opening features a classical concert by the Rhineland-Palatinate State Philharmonic conducted by Diego Ceretta. Violinist Anna Conunova will perform works by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Franz Schubert with the orchestra. The open-air setting makes the concert an accessible classical experience.

Friday: Night of the Legends

Friday's program is the 'Night of the Legends.' Tribute bands for Udo Lindenberg and Herbert Grönemeyer will perform German rock and pop classics; the band Grand Malör will complement the program. The mix of original classics and live energy attracts a broad audience.

Saturday: City Run and Night of the Voices

Saturday begins with the Ludwigshafen City Run along the Rhine promenade. In the evening, the 'Night of the Voices' follows – a program featuring singers from the region, focusing on vocal artistry in various genres.

Sunday: Children's Program and Sunday Shopping

Sunday is reserved for families. The children's mile offers hands-on activities, a stage program for children, and child-friendly food. In parallel, the city center opens for Sunday shopping.

Gourmet Mile and Wine Lounge

The gourmet mile brings together regional restaurateurs, street food trucks, and specialty stalls. Palatinate and Rheinhessen winemakers will be serving wine in the wine lounge. Thus, the Rheinuferfest combines music, sports, culinary delights, and city life.
