District city festival in Kelheim: starting shot and traffic closures on Friday!

In Kelheim, a festive atmosphere will soon be set! On Friday, July 4, 2025, the eagerly awaited district town festival begins, which will last until Saturday, July 5th. This event not only attracts many visitors, but also numerous exhibitors who transform the city into a lively festival mile. Around 40 fierers and over 30 program items on various stages promise a varied spectacle for young and old. A real highlight is the opening of the festival, which will be solemnly initiated on Friday at 6 p.m. with a star march of the local music bands to the city square. There are also free beer from the Kelheim breweries, which only increases the anticipation.

But not everything remains the same: before the start of the festival, drivers have to prepare for some important traffic restrictions. As reports charivari.com, the closures begin on Thursday at 3 p.m. The old market parking lot as well as the Danube and Altmühlstraße are affected. From Friday at 8 a.m. the south side of the Danube and Ludwigsplatz may no longer be used.

Details on the road closures

The closures should not be underestimated. The Mittelbayerische.de Article lists the most important traffic restrictions:

• south side Donautor
• Confections from the Alter Markt, Wittelsbachergasse and Ludwigsplatz into Emil-Ott-Straße
• Confusion of Altmühlstraße into Hafner and Matthias-Kraus-Gasse
• confluence with Brunngasse into Ludwigstraße

The blocking times should be a challenge for drivers from Thursday at 6 p.m. to Sunday at 10 a.m. Particularly important: Parking on the Old Market is not allowed during this time, and even at Ludwigplatz, drivers have to make sure that no parking under the tent is not allowed during the tent setting. Residents are asked to remove their vehicles from the blocked area in order to avoid further difficulties. If you have parked your car in the city center, you should be prepared for towing measures, as a ban on zone retention in the locked areas applies. It is best to park in the large parking spaces outside the city center or on the Donauvorland.

prepare for a great party and enjoy the colorful happen! Whether when celebrating, feasting or browsing at the stands - the district town festival promises, a real hit for the whole family!
