Festivals and event highlights in Stuttgart

Spring and summer festivals, wine festivals and Christmas events – all year round countless highlights invite visitors to the Stuttgart Region. The Stuttgart Wine Festival combines typical Swabian gemütlichkeit with regional specialities and exquisite local wines. The largest event by far is the Stuttgart Beer Festival. Each year at the end of September, Europe's biggest showmen's festival guarantees lots of entertainment and sociable fun with its fairground rides and beer tents. And as the year draws to a close, the Stuttgart Region's many festive Christmas markets are a popular attraction.
