Questions about events in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region in 2025

1. how can I find out which events will be taking place in Mannheim, Heidelberg and Ludwigshafen in 2025?

Want to make sure you don't miss out on any event highlights this year? It's simple: here are three ideas for 365 days of get-out-and-go fun:

  •  Hol dir unsere Rausgegangen App – damit hast du alle Tipps der Redaktion und die ganze Münchner Kulturlandschaft überall und jederzeit am Start! 
  • Erstell dir deinen kostenlosen Rausgegangen Account und setz deine Favorites auf die Merkliste, folge Locations und abonnier unseren wöchentlichen Mail-Newsletter, damit coole Veranstaltungen in dein Postfach fliegen!   
  • Folg uns auf Instagram und erfahr immer als Erste:r, was in unserer Stadt eventmäßig los ist!  

Let's go out together and experience beautiful things! 💜

2. what to do if it suddenly rains during my trip to Mannheim, Heidelberg or Ludwigshafen 2025?

Don't panic! There are plenty of things to do even when it rains. Many events such as concerts, parties or exhibitions take place indoors. So you don't need to worry about that. Tip: Check the venue - whether covered or open air - and make sure you have weatherproof clothing: umbrella, jacket and possibly a change of clothes. If your plans still fall through (literally), we have listed ideas here on how you can make the most of a rainy day in Rhine-Neckar - take a look!

3. how can I best prepare for events in Mannheim, Heidelberg or Ludwigshafen in 2025?

Whether you are a tourist or from the region - with these tips you are ready for an unforgettable time:

  • Informier dich frühzeitig und regelmäßig über Events in der Rausgegangen App oder auf unserer Website. 
  • Schau vorher auf den Wetterbericht und die Website der Veranstaltenden 
  • Plane deine Anreise: Checke Bus & Bahn -gerade für späte Events wichtig!
  • Sei offen für spontane Erlebnisse – oft sind die ungeplanten Abende die besten 💫

4. how can a club night in Mannheim, Heidelberg and Ludwigshafen be really good in 2025?

You want to go partying? Nice! Here are a few tips to help you enjoy the evening to the full:

  • Vorab nach Party erkundigen: Musikstil, Eintritt, Dresscode, Öffnungszeiten & Line-Up 
  • Mit wem?: Frag deine Freund:innen, ob sie mitkommen möchten oder informiere zumindest regelmäßig jemanden, wo du bist und wann du ungefähr zurück kommst.
  • Packliste für deine Tasche: Ausweis, Geld, aufgeladenes Handy + Powerbank, Kaugummi, Lippenpflege 
  • Outfit: Bequem & passend – ideal ist Zwiebellook - insbesondere bei möglichen Temperaturunterschieden zwischen Venue und draußen.
  •  Rückweg planen:  Letzte Bahn? Taxi? Wer kann dich holen? 
  • und ganz wichtig: Trink genug Wasser und hab ganz viel Spaß!

5. how do I convince my friends to go out with me in Mannheim, Heidelberg or Ludwigshafen in 2025?

Sometimes friends just need a little push - and the best way to give that is with really good arguments:

  • Zeig ihnen, was abgeht: Schick ihnen Events über die Rausgegangen App oder teile Highlights auf Instagram. Ob Kino in Heidelberg, Konzert in Mannheim oder Festival in Ludwigshafen – es ist garantiert was für sie dabei.
  • Gemeinsam planen: Mach’s konkret! Vorschläge wie „Lass nächsten Samstag aufs Straßenmusikfestival?“ wirken besser als ein „Wollen wir mal wieder was machen?“
  • Kombiniere Interessen: Deine eine Freundin mag keine Partys, aber liebt Märkte? Perfekt – wie wär's mit einem Vormittag auf dem Flohmarkt und danach Kaffee trinken?
  • Gemeinsame Erlebnisse schaffen: Erinner sie daran, wie schön es beim letzten Mal war. Nichts überzeugt mehr als gute gemeinsame Erinnerungen.

What if no one really comes along? Then be brave - go out on your own. There are so many great events and encounters in the Rhine-Neckar region that it's worth going out on your own. 💜
