The summer reading program registration goes until July 4. This year’s theme will be ‘Paws to Read’ and the program will be held on Mondays in Rose Barracks and on Wednesdays in Tower Barracks from 9:30 -11 a.m. The program will begin the week of July 14 and will finish with a final party on August 11.

The Funfair in 97421 Schweinfurt runs through 30 June, on the fest site Am Volksfestplatz. There is a small car park next to the fest site but that quickly fills up, so the council will assign more parking spaces along John-F.-Kennedy-Ring and in the surrounding streets. Your best option is to take public transport, though: Bus lines 22, 23, 24 and 25 all stop at the fest site and take you back to the main bus station Roßmarkt in the city center. schweinfurt.de/kultur-tourismus/volksfest/index.html Pre-register for the U.S. Forces Europe Army Ten Miler (Qualifier) at grafenwoehr.armymwr .
