Get ready for an action-packed weekend at the Hessentag, starting from today and running until June 20! Bad Vilbel, the host city, is gearing up for a whopping 750,000 visitors for its 62nd edition of the state festival. For the full 10-day celebration, an array of cultural, musical, and traditional events awaits you from June 13 to June 22, 2025[1][3].
While we can't reveal the entire schedule for June 19-20 just yet, we've got some tantalizing snippets. Let's dive in!
Saturday, June 19
The Day of Volunteer Deployment Forces kicks off the weekend. Keep an eye out for bigwigs like Hessian Minister President Boris Rhein and Hessian Interior Minister Roman Poseck (both CDU) gracing the Hessentag grounds[3]. As the sun goes down, get ready to groove to rapper Ski Aggu and more[3].
Keep in mind, things might get a bit stormy on Saturday and Sunday, with heat thunderstorms expected on Saturday and heavy thunderstorms overnight into Sunday[3]. So don't forget your raincoats!
Sunday, June 20
Sunday is all about the police! Witness the police cadet swearing-in ceremony as part of the "Police Day," followed by a rocking performance from the Swedish band Mando Diao[3].
Beyond the Weekend
If you're curious about the artistic lineup for the event, you'll find that performers like Myller, DEICHKIND, LEONY, and NINA CHUBA are set to take the stage throughout the Hessentag[2][4].
Of course, the Hessentag goes beyond music, encompassing traditional Hessian events, cultural exhibitions, and religious activities, such as those sponsored by the Bistum Mainz[5].
Don't miss out on the action! Stay updated by checking the official Hessentag website[1][3] for detailed schedules and more performer listings. See you there!
The community policy and employment policy of Bad Vilbel, the host city of Hessentag, might include special provisions for the thousands of volunteers during the event.
With the expected weather conditions of heat thunderstorms on Saturday and heavy thunderstorms overnight into Sunday, it would be prudent for attendees to consider outdoor-living and home-and-garden tips for handling such weather situations during their visit.
