The beginning of June in Mainz means the opening of the summer music season-and it opens with a wonderful festival called Open Ohr. During the festival, one of the most important attractions of the city — Zitadelle. It welcomes all visitors who want to listen to nice music, participate in seminars, discussion forums (the main theme — politics and development of the country in the modern world), theatrical productions and film screenings in the open air. Those who came to the fest with young citizens will enjoy a wide children's program. In the surrounding fortress Park Stadtpark naturalists have the perfect opportunity to have a picnic and camping, which is another advantage.
There is another amazing event almost immediately after the Open Ohr fest, which colourful program is aimed at young tourists. It is Kinderfestival, which takes place in Volkspark. Animation shows, contests, activities, attractions — this is only a small part of the activities offered at the festival. Gourmets prefer to visit the capital of Rhineland-Palatinate at the end of the last spring month-all because Mainzer Culinarium is held at this time here. The festival involves a rich culinary program and popular chefs demonstrate all their skills, offer a choice of visitors their best dishes, exquisite and quite impressive. There is a culinary festival in restaurants and cafes in the city, located in the city centre.
