The Golden Oldies Festival starts in Wettenberg on 29 July - a weekend dedicated to the 50s, 60s and 70s. Once again this year, Stadtwerke Gießen has organised a special bus service for the three days.
The organisers are expecting tens of thousands of visitors next weekend at the 27th edition of the popular "Golden Oldies" festival in Wettenberg/Krofdorf-Gleiberg. Experience has shown that with such large crowds, long queues of vehicles form in front of the car parks on the outskirts of Wettenberg. The special bus service operated by Stadtwerke Gießen (SWG) will take the revellers to Krofdorf-Gleiberg comfortably and without long waiting times.
