The daily program of the EURO 2024 FESTIVAL Stuttgart on July 12, 2024:
FAN ZONE SCHLOSSPLATZ:
Before the UEFA EURO 2024 final on July 14 attracts football fans to a public viewing event, the Fan Zone Schlossplatz will host a party on Friday, July 12. True to the motto "One party, two worlds, three times more music", every music enthusiast among you will have lots of fun. The "silent disco" party trend allows you to decide for yourself which music you want to dance to using special headphones. The range of music is diverse: from pop, rock and pop classics to house, there is a free choice for your personal party. The headphones ensure that there is no background noise, so you can have a quiet conversation without them. The headphones for the "Silent Disco" will be issued on site for a deposit of 20 euros. Admission to the Fan Zone Schlossplatz and the "Silent Disco" is free of charge. A SWR DJ will get visitors in the mood for the evening at 6 p.m.

Getting to the Fan Zone Schlossplatz:
Generally, the following applies: Significant visitor numbers are expected in Stuttgart over the entire period until July 14, 2024. This will also affect traffic. In addition, there may be road closures on the main roads due to certain situations, which cannot be planned in advance. These will occur on an ad hoc basis in addition to the existing closures in the city center.
The parking garages in the city center will not be accessible. There are a few parking spaces available outside the "Cityring".
After the matches (regardless of the Host City Stuttgart location), obstructions due to motorcades must be expected. This may result in temporary road closures, especially in the city center. Additional traffic obstructions are then expected.
It is therefore strongly recommended that you travel by public transport or bicycle.
