Heusteigviertelfest | June 27-29, 2025

This three-day beloved festival takes place in the lovely Wilhelminian-era district, which is said to be one of Stuttgart’s most beautiful neighborhoods with Gründerzeit and Art Nouveau architecture and plenty of cafes and creative shops along the streets. Upholding tradition, Heusteigviertelfest begins Friday evening on the two Mozartplatz squares where residents and visitors are welcome to meet, chat and celebrate community while enjoying music.

On Saturday, the entire Mozartstrasse is filled with people, culinary delicacies, and a vibrant mix of live music. Additionally, there is “the children’s mile” which includes fun programs like live performances from other talented kids. In 2024, Mayla, the finalist from “The Voice Kids” performed.  On Sunday there is the option to attend an open-air church service and enjoy a classic Bavarian white sausage breakfast accompanied by music or to go on a shopping spree at the mile-long flea market. Parking a car is not allowed, so the city has provided guidelines for public transport at the website: viertelfest.heusteigviertel.info.
