Several hundred thousand visitors are expected to attend the parade. Due to the very large crowds, interested parties are strongly advised to travel by public transport. The event can be reached via the stations Bellevue, Hauptbahnhof, Friedrichstraße, Potsdamer Platz and Hansaplatz. According to VIZ, travelers should expect the Brandenburg Gate station to close early due to its close proximity to the event.

On Friday, the organizers announced that they had found a solution for the previously unclear medical care. Unless something else comes up, "the event will take place," said managing director Timm Zeiss on Friday. According to the statement, a commercial medical service will provide the operational management, and the contracts have been signed.
