Backfisch Festival Traffic Advisory

Mark your calendars for the upcoming Backfish Festival, taking place on August 31st and September 7th. Here's what you need to know to navigate the traffic and parking around the festival grounds.

On Sunday, August 31st, the parade route for the Backfisch Festival will be closed to regular traffic from 1 to 6 PM. Affected bus lines will be rerouted during this time, and residents of the surrounding streets should expect temporary parking and stopping restrictions.

The organizing association of the Backfisch Festival is not explicitly named in the search results, but festivals with Backfisch offerings are often organized by local civic or citizens' associations. More specific details on the exact organizing club of the Backfish Festival in question are not found in the provided results.

For those planning to attend the festival on September 7th, the KVG recommends using public transportation. A special bus service has been set up for the Backfisch Festival, with the schedule available online.

The large parking lot at the festival grounds is accessible via the B9, while the small parking lot at the Old Slaughterhouse can be reached via both the Rhine Street and the B9. The parking lot at the Old Slaughterhouse will be available during the Backfish Festival, with a fee of 4 euros per car and 2 euros per motorcycle.

Access roads around the festival grounds are signposted, and visitors are asked to follow the signs to avoid traffic congestion. Kastanienallee is closed between Rhine Street and the parking lot at the festival grounds during the Backfish Festival.

Rhine Street will be a one-way street during the festival, only accessible from the city towards the Rhine or towards the slaughterhouse. Floßhafenstraße is a one-way street from Rhine Street towards the slaughterhouse during the festival. From the B9, Floßhafenstraße is accessible in both directions up to the parking lot at the slaughterhouse, but only for residents towards Rhine Street during the festival.

Parade participants will gather in the area of Friedrich-Ebert-Straße, Liebenauerstraße, Carl-Schurz-Straße, Von-Steuben-Straße, and Güterhallenstraße. Increased traffic is expected around the festival grounds on both Backfish Festival weekends, so it's best to plan your route and allow extra travel time.

On September 7th, the second festival Sunday, there will be a large crowd on and around the festival grounds. The KVG asks visitors to be mindful of pedestrians and to follow all traffic signs and directions from festival staff.

Historic buses will also be running for the Backfisch Festival, as reported online. For more information on the parade route, bus schedules, and parking options, visit the festival's official website. Enjoy the Backfish Festival and stay safe on the roads!
