Wiesbaden celebrates friendship: great German-American festival!

Washington Strasse 1-15, 65189 Wiesbaden, Deutschland - The countdown is running: From July 3 to 7, 2025, Wiesbaden will again be "stars and stripes"! On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the German-American friendship festival, the US living area Hainerberg is transformed into a festival mile for all generations and cultures. Mayor Gert-Uwe Mende and Colonel Troy Danderson, the commander of the US garrison, emphasize the great importance of this friendship, especially in difficult times. True to the motto "Together we are strong", the festival will be more than just a celebration this year-it is a sign of German-American relationships that have existed for over 300 years, starting with the establishment of the settlement "Germantown" by German emigrants in 1683.

Every day, visitors can enjoy a variety of attractions from 12:00 to midnight. In addition to ride such as roller coaster and car scooter, there are also culinary highlights that combine the best of both countries: from American Corn Dogs, Hamburgers and American ice to German classics such as bratwurst and currywurst is something for everyone. The beer garden and the barbecue invite you to end the evening in a convivial atmosphere. Live music and DJs create the mood, and the big fireworks on July 4th at 10:45 p.m.

safe arrival to the festival

The journey is made somewhat difficult by the limited parking facilities, which is why the organizers recommend visiting the festival on foot, by bike or by public transport. Access is via New York Street. There are also security measures such as pocket controls and a ban on glass bottles, own alcoholic beverages and large backpacks to ensure the safety of all participants.

Participation in this festival is not only interesting for the local population. Visitors to outside, such as Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern, are also cordially invited. The PXX parking lot, which is part of the US military base, will be open to the public. This creates a unique opportunity to experience these cultural bridges and do good business - be it when enjoying the food or experiencing the attractions.

a story of friendship

German-American relationships are deeply rooted. Even if they were shaped by crises in the past, such as the two world wars, they were strengthened by numerous economic and cultural exchange programs. The Marshall Plan significantly contributed to rebuilding Germany after the Second World War and created the basis for a close partnership that still has existed today. In 2015, US exports to Germany were almost $ 50 billion, while German exports to the United States reached around $ 124 billion. These economic interdependencies offer a solid framework for interpersonal relationships that are celebrated at the friendship festival.

The German-American friendship festival is more than just a festival; It is a symbol of durability and the ongoing exchange between two nations. Be there and celebrate the friendship with us!
