Lab Fest, Stuttgart | Aug. 29-31, 2025
Every year for over 40 years, this volunteer-based and free family-friendly music festival takes place during the last weekend in August at the Berger Festplatz in the Lower Castle Garden. Musicians and artists perform a mix of different music in the garden tent for thousands of visitors. Musical genres include blues, singer-songwriter, jazz and world music.
In true festival fashion, there will also be cabaret, plenty of culinary delights from around the world to try and an arts and crafts market where visitors can leisurely shop handmade, regional items. On Saturday and Sunday there will be children’s theatre performances, face painting, a circus and a play area.
