Flammende Sterne Fireworks Festival, Ostfildern | Aug. 22-24, 2025

The 21st Flaming Stars Fireworks Festival will be a thrilling show and competition where pyrotechnics teams visit from all over the world to light up the sky with unique designs and vibrant colors hoping to be named the winner.

While fireworks and laser shows are the main attraction, each evening, at 6 p.m., there will be additional festival flair and a market to shop. Live music will fill the air, fire artists and other performing artists will dazzle crowds and the Ochsenfurt play construction site will have a selection of games, hands-on activities as well as a puppet show for families and children.

To plan, tickets should be purchased online at flammende-sterne.de. There are two options a “day ticket” which grants you access to the event area and a “seat ticket” which includes sectioned-off seating to watch the fireworks displays more comfortably.
