Stuttgarter Frühlingsfest  | April 19–May 11, 2025

The biggest Spring Fest in all of Europe is back for its 85th year. This festival welcomes the return of warmer days and buds on the trees. There are a variety of stalls selling drinks and favorite fest-foods like schnitzel, bratwurst and pommes. The Trader’s Market has more than 50 traders offering textiles, handicrafts, jewelry, teas, spices and more. Entrance tickets come with two huge steins of beer.

There are many rides to enjoy like a Ferris wheel and roller coasters, plus a variety of live music and other entertainment to experience. Wasenhasi, a friendly rabbit and the official mascot, regularly walks around the site ready to take pictures and give courage to those afraid to ride the rides. Every Wednesday is family day which offers reduced prices.
