Arbon Classics, which is held every two years, turns Arbon's Quaipromenade into a celebration of classic mobility. The journey will be favorable for participants from the German Lake Constance area. If they arrive in a classic car, they will receive a "Einfach für Retour" ticket on the ferry operated by Schweizerische Bodensee Schifffahrt. As a special treat, the organizers, the Arbon Classics association, announce the exhibition of various trains and locomotives on the station grounds.

Main attraction: The Gotthard steam locomotive C5/6 with the nickname "Elephant". It will celebrate its 100th birthday in May with the second maiden voyage to Arbon Classics.
