Stuttgart military community members are advised to prepare for impacts to parking and vehicle access at Panzer Kaserne starting next week as crews set up for the annual Independence Day celebration scheduled for Friday, July 4, 2025.
Impacts to parking and traffic will start as soon as the early morning on Tuesday, July 1. Starting at 1 a.m., parking of vehicles between buildings 2914/2915 (554th MP Company and MWR/ACS/USO building) and buildings 2917/2918 (CYS gym/old Patch on Panzer Elementary School) will be affected.
At 1 a.m. on Wednesday, July 2, parking will be suspended on the MWR lemon lot and the adjacent row of parking in the main Exchange lot. Parking in the rear of Building 2914 and 2915 is also suspended at this time.
Beginning at 1 a.m. on Thursday, July 3, the main Exchange parking lot and the streets along it, as well as in front of Building 2913 (Welcome Center) will close. Traffic will be rerouted to the street between Buildings 2917 and Building 2996 (Vet Clinic).
All impacted lots will remain closed until the morning of July 5.
While the Independence Day celebration is not scheduled to begin until 3 p.m. on July 4, crews need time and space to set up activities safely. The phased closure of roads and parking lots assists greatly with the effort, USAG Stuttgart Directorate of Emergency Services Chief of Police Mark Pursel said.
"Let's work together as one community to enjoy a safe and fun-filled event," Pursel said. "We encourage you to read the safety and parking information carefully, follow the guidelines, and report any unsafe or suspicious activity to the Military Police or Polizei. Most importantly, have a spectacular July 4 celebration!"
People conducting business at the main Exchange on July 2, should expect less parking than normal. People conducting business at the main Exchange on July 3 should expect no parking in the main lot.
Parking for the event itself will be EXTREMELY limited. Garrison officials are encouraging people who live on Patch, Kelley, or Robinson Barracks to ride duty buses, which will be running a special schedule on July 4. You can check out the schedule here. All local nationals are required to arrive on foot and encouraged to take public transportation.
You can find additional information about the event in this article and on the Stuttgart Family & MWR website.
