Worms blossoms — Spring action weekend

Start of Spring in the City Center

For years, “Worms blossoms” has marked the official start of spring in Worms. During a weekend in April, florists, garden centers, decorators, and craftspeople transform the pedestrian zone into a cohesive floral arrangement. The shops join in, showcasing spring fashion and complementing the offerings with seasonal specialties.

2026 Color Theme

Each year, the marketing team coordinates a color palette that serves as a common thread throughout the weekend. In 2026, orange, violet, and white will define the staging; plants such as pansies, ranunculus, wallflowers, and forget-me-nots will be the focus of the floral concepts. Wormser Marketing GmbH coordinates the concept together with the participating businesses.

Sunday Shopping

On Sunday, April 12, 2026, city center shops will open their doors from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. for Sunday shopping. The unusual opening hours attract visitors from the entire Rhine-Neckar region and Rheinhessen, who combine the blooming cityscape with shopping and café visits.

2026 Highlight: Soft Opening of the Synagogue District

A special highlight in 2026 is the soft opening of the restored synagogue district on April 12. After about ten years of renovation and five years of accompanying excavations, the synagogue, the medieval mikveh (ritual bath), and the newly designed synagogue garden will be accessible again. Free short tours of the mikveh are announced; the SchUMobil — the information vehicle of the SchUM Association — will be present in the city center.
