Marienplatzfest | June 26–June 29, 2025

The Marienplatz Festival is like a giant block party in downtown Stuttgart with music styles that span across generations, making it fun for people of all ages. Live performances in multiple musical genres like folk, electro-pop and indie occur over all the days of the festival. There is even a silent disco for night owls that don’t want the fun to end where music is played late into the night via headphones.

Children’s music and sport programs are scheduled daily. And of course, there are beer and sausage stands as well as other regional foods you can try while shopping festival stalls for urban art and other unique handicrafts. Best of all, the festival is free!
