Baden-Württemberg / Stuttgart Region07.05.2019Hot time, summer in the city
Big festivals and the picturesque Christmas Market are traditionally held in the state capital, and every year visitors from all over the world come to join in the fun.
29th Stuttgart Summer Festival:
Stroll around, sample delicious food, relax, dance – this elegant open-air festival is held annually at the beginning of August (1st August until 4th August 2019) on the main Palace Square and in the Palace Gardens around the lake in front of the State Theatre. The white pavilions, countless fairy lights and lanterns, the beautiful backdrop of the New Palace, a wide choice of culinary delights and a range of musical performances to suit every taste give this chic summer festival its incomparable flair.
43rd Stuttgart Wine Village:
From 28th August until 8th September 2019 more than 500 exquisite wines from Württemberg and Baden can be sampled in 125 tastefully decorated wine arbours. To accompany them, Stuttgart’s chefs serve Swabian specialities such as “Maultaschen” (filled pasta squares), “Käsepätzle” (noodles with cheese) and “Schupfnudeln” (potato noodles) with sauerkraut, to name but a few.
174th Stuttgart Beer Festival:
The Stuttgart Beer Festival, which originated in 1818 as a harvest thanksgiving celebration, has become one of the world’s largest public festivals with a host of fairground rides and frequent new attractions centred round its emblem, a 26 metre high column of fruit. The white water flume, the Ferris wheel and the colourful market stalls delight millions of visitors 17 days long, from 27th September until 13th October 2019. In the huge marquees of the Stuttgart breweries, each of which seats up to 5000 guests, in the beer tents of the regional brewers and the beer gardens, the beer flows more or less unceasingly, and there is plenty of food available as well. Each year the festival opens with a grand procession with magnificently decorated brewery drays drawn by four or six horses, and with groups from all over the region dressed in traditional costumes.
Stuttgart Christmas Market:
Every year in Advent, 27th November until 23rd December 2019, Stuttgart is transformed into a glittering Christmas city! Stuttgart’s Christmas Market with over 282 beautifully decorated stalls is not only one of the oldest but without doubt also one of the largest of its kind in the whole of Europe. Its illuminations are second to none; the festive concerts of seasonal music in the Renaissance courtyard of the Old Palace and the “Winterland” on the Palace Square all contribute to the incomparable Christmas atmosphere which enchants millions of visitors year after year.
