Saarburg - the place to be (tonight)!

Stand by, everyone, for the biggest event to hit Saarburg since Helmut Kohl stopped for an ice cream in 1987 - SWR3, South West Germany's official radio station, will be broadcasting from the Stadthalle this very evening!


Saarburg is the venue for this gala event, and takes its rightful place alongside Sinsheim, Bruchsal, Hockenheim, Waldprechtsweier, Sindelfingen, and even Stuttgart itself, as one of the hosts of the SWR3 Elch (Elk) Parties to be taking place across this dynamic part of the country.

The Stadthalle has all the necessary features to host such an event - it plays host to various antique markets in the year, where visitors can buy historical memorabilia (see photos below), and there are numerous films shown (dubbed into German). It also has a bar, toilets and parking for more than 200 cars. Tonight's event will see record crowds gather in the town to welcome SWR3's famous DJs.

Local man, Hartmut Landei, said "This will put Saarburg on the party map, as the place to go for anyone who likes to dance. I'm just going out to buy a new shirt. Something bright, like beige or white. Who knows? We might get someone really famous here, like Roland Kaiser or Hansi Hinterseer, and then I'll need new underwear too!"

People can expect to dance to rock & roll, pop, funk, reggae and hip-hop, as well as Schlager for our less musically-minded inhabitants. So come on down, don't miss the party, and remember to dress to impress!
