Rhineland-Palatinate Day 2025: Neustadt celebrates with parades and anniversary!

The 38th Rhineland-Palatinate Day will be organized in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse from May 23 to 25, 2025. The festivities take place in the city center and promise a colorful program that appeals to both young and older citizens. Otherwise, the event will take place near the historic Hambacher Castle, a symbol of the German democracy movement. Prime Minister Malu Dreyer and Mayor Marc Weigel are the organizers of this important celebration, which also coincides with the 750th anniversary of the city of Neustadt.

At this festival, citizens have the opportunity to experience the history and identity of their state up close. The Prime Minister emphasizes the combination of commitment and joie de vivre to shape the event. In addition, the planning and organization of the Rhineland-Palatinate Day from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate is more strongly supported, which should help to minimize the financial risks for the host municipality.

In contrast to previous events, parades will be carried out with music and foot groups this year, which replace the traditional pageant on the state festival Sunday. These parades are led by Prime Minister Alexander Schweitzer and Mayor Marc Weigel and are intended to embody imagination, creative design and atmospheric music.
