Aurich is preparing: safety measures for the wine and gourmet festival!

The city of Aurich is gearing up for the upcoming wine and gourmet festival, which will take place on the popular market square from July 17th to 19th. Up to 5,500 guests are expected to enjoy fine wines and exquisite culinary offerings. But the anticipation also brings with it responsibilities. To ensure the safety of all visitors, comprehensive measures were taken, as reported by nwzonline.de.

In order to minimize potential security risks such as attacks, numerous entrances to the pedestrian zone and the festival area will be closed. These include strategically selected streets: Mittlere Norderstrasse, Marktstrasse and Lilienstrasse, as well as areas on Wallstrasse, Burgstrasse, Kirchstrasse and Hafenstrasse. The passage from the OLB parking lot to Rathausgasse is also blocked, so visitors have to rely on public transport or footpaths. These measures are supported by special vehicle barriers and bollards that can be driven over, which enable emergency vehicles to be deployed quickly in an emergency.

Closing times and organization

The vehicle barriers are activated at certain times: on Thursday from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m., on Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. This means that during these times there will be no access to the closed areas by motor vehicles, including for residents and suppliers. The city of Aurich asks that travel to the city center be organized accordingly in order to avoid possible inconveniences. “Please understand these necessary safety measures,” said an official city spokesman.

The safety aspects are of great importance for the carefree experience of festival visitors. According to the guidelines, events like this must also meet legal requirements that ensure a high level of safety. According to TÜV Nord, important roles such as event management and knowledgeable supervisors need to be filled here. These people are responsible for maintaining safety standards and monitoring throughout the festival.

Conclusion and anticipation

The wine and gourmet festival in Aurich promises a special experience for all the senses. While preparations are in full swing, it is important that everyone involved is aware of the safety precautions. The city is preparing carefully to offer visitors an unforgettable festival, without growing concerns about security. When the first visitors discover the colorful stands and exquisite offerings, nothing stands in the way of a festive weekend. Let's be surprised and enjoy the festivities!
