Whit Monday in Germany

We are arriving in Bacharach next Monday and I've just heard it is a national holiday. Can anyone advise me about this day? Will everything be closed? (I've confirmed my hotel). Or is it a big street party? Curious what to expect. thanks

Some restaurants may close, but most remain open. Public transportation will run on a reduced schedule. Almost all stores close. I wouldn't expect a big street party in Bacharach unless a crowd of Rickniks hit the Riesling too hard.

Thank you both. I'm sure it will be fine....it's our jet lag day anyway so we'll grab some food, check in, get some sleep, and be ready for the Rhine the next day!
