Beach resources enthusiastic: admission problems keep visitors on trot!

The lido festival in Frankenthal also inspired the masses this year. With a diverse program that ranged from water ballet to live music to a fantastic fireworks on Saturday evening, there was something for every taste. The event attracted numerous visitors and ensured an exuberant atmosphere in the lido - a real highlight in the city's summer calendar. According to the reports of frankenthal.de there was catering by numerous local clubs, including the FSV Frankenthal e.v. e.V., all of which contributed their part to the guests were spoiled with culinary delights.

The organizers, consisting of the civil services area, volunteers and the team of the lido, had made a lot of trouble to make the festival a success. The event was also supported by sponsors such as the United VR Bank Kur- und Rheinpfalz and the Frankenthal municipal utilities. However, despite the positive feedback on the diversity of the offers, there were also dark sides, especially with regard to the admission situation. Many guests had to raise patience on Saturday evening in view of long waiting times of over an hour.

admission problems and security activity

The problems with the entry were due to a thorough ticket control and security check. The organizers reported that these measures were necessary to ensure the safety of visitors. Security controls led to ensuring drugs and other dangerous objects, which increased security, but the waiting times significantly extended.

The city of Frankenthal has already reacted and plans to revise the entrance organization for future festivals. An important innovation should be a separate entrance for the owner of online tickets, which hopefully shortens the waiting times. Furthermore, there will be an online form for feedback to collect the suggestions and suggestions from visitors. A special incentive: Among the entries there will even be 50 free tickets for the 2026 lido.

experiences from the past

This year's challenges were contrasting to the difficulties of the previous year, when the lido 2023 had to be canceled at short notice due to financial, legal and organizational problems. At that time, Mayor Bernd Knöppel had informed the clubs involved that a safe implementation of the festival was no longer possible. Mayor Martin Hebich regretted the late clarification of the matters.

With the experience in the back of the head, work is now being made to make future events even better taking into account all the necessary safety aspects. The procedure is strongly supported by the recommendations from the orientation framework for large events, which were developed by a working group, which has been developed by a cross -departmental working group. These recommendations are designed to support municipalities in the planning and implementation of festivals with an increased risk potential, as can be found in im.nrw

Despite the smaller breakdowns, the festival was a successful occasion in which the focus was on community sense and joy. The impressions of the festival are published on the city's website, and the organizers would like to thank everyone involved and visitors for their understanding and patience during the event.
