Over 40 show trucks on the festival site

Discover the big role models for our miniature models at the big open day. Snap a few pictures to capture the beautiful day and talk to the drivers of the ‘big brothers’. Maybe you can even get an autograph from our trucker babe. A short trip to the MAN Arena is also worthwhile.

Exhibitors in the Manufacturer Activity Park

Admire new products, have a nice chat or take part in hands-on activities - everyone will find a sympathetic ear from our exhibitors across the industry in the Manufacturer Activity Park. You might even be able to pick up a model or two from our colleagues to complement your Herpa products. We are sure that these will definitely be an enrichment for the big day at Herpa.

Volunteers and catering

Our volunteers are not only working at Herpa on 5 July, but all year round. On the day of the festival, they will also be presenting their vehicles and are open for an exchange with you. Afterwards, you are welcome to fill your belly with Franconian specialities, a delicious ice cream or cool drinks in the hospitality tent.
