While living in Germany for some years, we would never miss the Canstatter Wasen - it is an absolute must while in Germany. Millions of tourists flock to Germany in October just to attend the Wasen and with good reason - there are loads of big tents with German folk music, massive pints of beer and cheery Germans (some in...

Visted this festival in May with 20 work colleagues who came from around the globe so it was a first for almost everybody. It was organized by our German branch so as one would imagine it went like clockwork. It was unusually hot outside so the beer tent ( capacity 3000) reached almost suana like temperatures. It's amazing to see... More

If you are in the area during the Spring or Fall Festivals (Fruhlingsfest or Volksfest) then please go here and get an authentic taste of Festival fun! I rate it as better than Oktoberfest for the type of people in the crowds, the food choices and quality and the more intimate size. More

Best German Beer festival ever! Really puts Oktoberfest in the shade! More

We went there with the kids to Fruehlingsfest. Expect to pay, pay, pay big bucks (or Euro).

Still it was a lot fo fun but for... More

Went last weekend with a group of work friends to the Fruhlingsfest and had a wonderful time. Lots of rides, games, and great food throughout the... More

We went to Fruehlingsfest on a Tuesday with my family. The beer, the atmosphere, and the food was great. We went to 2 different tents and the kids went on lots of the rides. We sang lots of songs in the tents and enjoyed the live bands. More

More fun than Oktberfest in Munich because it is so so big or crowded. Avoid on weekend nights though. More

Living in Stuttgart, we attend both the Cannstatter Volksfest in Fall and Fruehlingsfest in the Spring each year. The first is the world's second largest beer festival and at the same time the world's largest fun festival with many rides and attractions more fitting for a large amusement park. It lasts for a little over 2 weeks, and is not... More
