April Things To Do Around Spangdahlem has several interesting things to go see during this month. There are Things To Do for everyone! Some include Flea Markets, Blossoms, Street Food, Tattoos & more! There has got to be one that you will find interesting and want to check out! Again these are generally no more than 3 hours away, although I may throw in one or two further away ones if I think that they are something to consider.
I’ve also included a printable file at the bottom so that you can print it out and easily see what is going on. Some of the events are this weekend so if you don’t get to them this year you can always add them to your list for next year. I’ll also be blogging about the ones that we get to visit so check back and see if they are worth taking a trip to.
Below is a list of upcoming Things To Do, please note many of the websites are in German only so use Google Chrome and it will translate the page for you. It will include the festival, website, dates, and how far from Spangdahlem & Ramstein.

Thanks so much for this list! I just found out I’m being emergency evaced to Ramstein on Monday from Turkey and will be spending a few months there while my Navy husband finishes school. I’m looking for things to do all over Germany while we’re apart and this is a great list!
