4.45 p.m.: Last construction work before the start

Lots of things going on already on Friday within sight of our BR studio in Würzburg: it is already on the Mainwiesen – the Mainfrankenmesse. The official start tomorrow morning: around 300 exhibitors in 13 halls. And we from Bayerischer Rundfunk are also there in the Mainfrankenhalle. “3G applies to the whole site this year – we know that by now: recovered, vaccinated or tested,” says studio manager Frank Müller. In the outdoor area, those responsible ask you to keep the known distance of one and a half meters and in the halls you need at least a medical mask. Another tip: buy an online ticket and register before visiting – this is how the trade fair organizers want to avoid long queues.

And now we have put together a really good program,” says studio manager Frank Müller.

Every day from 10 a.m., visitors can look forward to an insight into our program: Thorsten Otto will take a seat on the Bayern 1 blue couch with globetrotter Nick Martin. BR moderator Ernst Vogt is a guest with the Bayern2 backpack radio. The BR Social Club is new – a talk format about young creators and topics that is streamed live from the fair into the social networks.
