BLife in the center of Frankfurt is a little bit more. Beginning Friday afternoon, performers from Kaiserplatz, Roßmarkt, Opernplatz, Liebfrauenberg, Main North Shore and Freßgass have the opportunity to start their businesses, which have been largely idle for a year and a half during the epidemic period due to corona, “city summer”.There are about two dozen rides and food stalls-hope all of these will be the first more normal steps that are coming Folk festival Yes. Mayor Peter Feldman (SPD) said at the opening ceremony: “It’s a good thing to get back to normal in small steps.”
However, there is still a long way to go from “Summer in the City” to major festivals, Herbst-Dippemess or Christmas markets in Rome and St. Paul’s Church. Not only because performers have been burned to children since the launch of “Autumn in the City” as a start-up aid for performers in 2020-the event had to be terminated early at the beginning of the lockdown in early November due to the increase in morbidity-but also because of entrepreneurs I’m a little nervous about Frankfurt’s recent slight increase in value. “We looked at it and wanted the best,” said Thomas Roie, president of the Frankfurt/Rhine-Main Performance Association. “First of all, I am glad that we have returned to life a little bit.”
Purely “go to” station
“Summer in the City” is an event exclusively for performers. Performers apply for approval separately, and the stands are purely “go to” stands. Therefore, they are just the pioneers of folk festivals such as Mainfest, Dippemess {Character (9,124) mismatch}’, and Christmas markets. Thomas Feda is responsible as the managing director of the Municipal Tourism and Congress LLC.
“According to current regulations, major events are not yet feasible,” Feda said. Personal data must still be recorded and traceability must be guaranteed. The location of the activity should be clearly delineated and fenced.
The new regulations will not be issued until the end of July. The Fed wants to relax policy. “As a festival in the city center, Mainfest is difficult to define spatially,” Feda said. He was skeptical of the adjustment at the end of August. Clear signals should be heard in the next ten days, otherwise the plan is unlikely to continue.
Feda is more optimistic about the event planned for later this year: the advantage of Dippemess is that it will be organized in a well-fenced area on the Ratsweg market.
Thursday at 12 noon
Feda said: “We are also planning to establish significantly less stringent requirements, such as the distance between the stands, which was eventually cancelled within a short period of the previous year compared with the previous Dippemess.”
After all, in the Christmas market, people are already “going all out”, hoping to have a situation similar to that before the epidemic. It is said that the opening is also one week earlier than usual to increase the chances of the performers’ economic recovery. “Many other things don’t make sense,” Feda continued.
“We must not deceive ourselves: all other situations are related to considerable economic losses. If at the end of the day we hold an event that bankrupts performers and marketers, no one will benefit from it.”
At the same time, life in the area has become active again. The Rheingau Wine Festival will restart in Kidrich this weekend. 11 wineries will be open until Sunday, launching new vintage wines, offering small food and live music.
Alternative for wine festival friends
The Rheingau Wine Week was cancelled in Wiesbaden. In order to prevent the friends of the wine festival from leaving empty-handed, there is an alternative concept: it provides “corona-compliant wine and enjoyment experience” for three consecutive weekends. A total of 19 wine merchants set up stalls in the state capital Luisenplatz, Kranzplatz and Kurhaus Colonnade.
Although the number of tourists in Bad Homburg’s summer and similar events in other cities in Hochtaunuskreis is limited, the Lantern Festival in Bad Homburg, the largest folk festival in the Taunus region, was once again cancelled.
In Hanau, large traditional festivals such as Lamboyfest and Bürgerfest have also been cancelled. As part of the “Summer of Hanau”, smaller outdoor forms such as restaurant nights and music shows in Wilhelmsbad and later in the amphitheater were covered but open air.
