The state festival offers visitors an insight into the cultural and social diversity of Rhineland-Palatinate associations and groups. An information and entertainment program takes place in a manageable area that is intended to appeal to all strata of the population and age groups equally. The event adapts to the characteristics and regional characteristics, for example with regard to regional customs or culinary specialties.

According to a survey in Rhineland-Palatinate, 80% of citizens are familiar with the Rhineland-Palatinate Day, and every second person from Rhineland-Palatinate has already attended the state festival. Unlike a folk festival or a fair, the festival encompasses all social currents across the country and depicts them at the venue over a weekend, over three days.

For the host city, the Rhineland-Palatinate Day offers an opportunity to present itself.
