Old Town Festival in Salzgitter: Road closures and silent hour planned!
Next weekend, Salzgitter-Bad will be transformed into a vibrant festival scene - the Old Town Festival will take place with a full program! A veritable fireworks display of attractions is on offer at numerous locations between the Bohlweg, the market square and the Klesmerplatz. Special treats, both national and international, and numerous rides will delight young and old. However, this also entails some traffic disruptions that should not go unmentioned. The city of Salzgitter, in close coordination with the Salzgitter/Peine/Wolfenbüttel police station, the professional fire brigade and the Citizens' Festivals Committee, has set up extensive road closures to ensure the safety and smooth running of the festival. These road closures have been in place since April 30 and will continue to be carefully monitored throughout the festivities. RegionalToday reports that guests must park their vehicles outside the event site.
But it's not just the festive attractions and culinary highlights that set the event apart. A particularly sensitive aspect of the Old Town Festival is the planned “Silent Hour” on Sunday, June 29th, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. This lesson is aimed specifically at people who are sensitive to stimuli and people with autism who often react strongly to background noise. During this time, the lights are dimmed and music and other noises are reduced or turned off completely. The city of Salzgitter has gratefully thanked the Bürgerfeste e.V. Committee for implementing these “Silent Hours”, a step that should be a great relief for many visitors.
Security concept in focus
A central concern when planning the Old Town Festival is the security concept. This is regularly reviewed and adjusted to not only meet the requirements of the event, but also to ensure the well-being of everyone involved. The police will be present with sufficient forces and contribute to security. A ban on weapons has also been declared on the entire event site in order to guarantee a safe environment for all visitors. Information on the structuring and implementation of security measures is essential. This includes risk analyses, clear responsibilities and the documentation of risk assessments. Rubble Wätke emphasizes that a well-thought-out security concept can not only save lives, but also shorten crisis phases.
In order to ensure the feasibility of the security measures, the city of Salzgitter, the professional fire brigade and the police worked together to create a solid basic concept. Regular review and adjustment of these concepts ensures that disruptions and unexpected situations can be handled in the best possible way. The cooperation between the various organizations is crucial for the smooth running of the Old Town Festival and is considered important by everyone involved.
In summary, we can say: The Old Town Festival in Salzgitter-Bad promises to be a colorful and diverse event for everyone. Actions and safety precautions are well coordinated, and the introduction of the “Silent Hour” shows special attention to the well-being of all visitors. So anyone staying in Salzgitter-Bad next weekend can look forward to a great experience. You can find further information about the festival and the various offers on the city website.
